USB Board of Education Development Board
Price: $65.00
DESCRIPTION:
NOW SHIPPING. No more serial ports with the new USB Board of Education!
A Mini-B USB cable is included with the board so it's ready to go right
out of the package. The new Board of Education USB programming board (Rev.
A) allows you to connect with the USB ports on your desktop or laptop. The
remaining features of the BOE-USB are shared with the BOE-Serial version.
The BOE was originally designed in coordination with our educational
customers to teach microcontroller programming and this remains today as
the most popular application. The majority of the Stamps in Class student
guides (i.e. Robotics with the Boe-Bot) requires a BASIC Stamp 2 module
with a Board of Education carrier board. Even if you aren’t using our
SIC curriculum, the ease of use and expandibility make the BOE an ideal
project board for any BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller experimentation.
One of the more recent and most convenient additions to the BOE is a power
switch located in the middle/bottom portion of the board. The handy power
switch on the BOE allows you to keep the power jack connected while
selecting 3 options which include:
(0) Position = OFF
(1) Position = Power to everything except the servo connectors
(2) Position = Power to everything
Another new feature for 2004 was the placement of a jumper near the servo
connectors. This jumper will select either Vdd (5 V) or Vin (unregulated
input voltage) to power the servos.
Main Features of BOE-USB:
Mechanically interlocked power supply to prevent dual connection of
wall-pack and 9-volt battery
USB connector for BS2-IC programming
P0 - P15 I/O pins, Vdd and Vss connections brought adjacent to 5.1 x
3.5 cm (2" x 1 3/8") breadboard area
Includes set of ten (10) color-coded 22 gauge wires
