Education Shield

Board-connection standoffs attach the two boards together. They are recommended if you frequently

connect and disconnect the Arduino’s programming cable or external power. They are also useful for

applications that involve vibration or acceleration forces.

 (3) Parallax #700-00036 – Nut, #4-40 Nylon

 (3) Parallax #713-00051 – Spacer, #4x1/2”, Nylon

 (3) Parallax #710-00007 – Screw, #4-40x7/8”, Phillips, Zinc plated

 #1 Phillips point screwdriver

Check to see how many spacers will fit on your particular Arduino module. Most boards will

accommodate either two or three of the screws and spacers. Before you socket the Shield into the

Arduino, insert Phillips screws into the Arduino mounting holes that will fit.

Slide the nylon spacers over the screws and then fit the Arduino onto the screws and Board of Education

Shield’s pins. After the Shield is firmly socketed, secure the screws with the nylon nuts. In the example

here, only two of three screws fit onto the Uno R3. The third screw could optionally be used without a

spacer; just be careful not to over-tighten it.
