Board of Education

Board of Education is a Microcontroller development board, Designed by www.parallax.com. Which i persnolly found very easy to use and to work with. It was originally designed to support the learners of Microcontroller programming in field of electronics and robotics Engineering. You can order one from this link parallax.com/boe Best part of this Board is that…

Best part of this Board is that it has a little piece of breadboard. So you don’t need to have any breadboard and have long jumpers to hookup with the outputs/inputs of your micro controller board. With this board and serial usb module has to be attached to it and you program it and have output right away!

It is widely used in Educational, hobby and industrial applications and is highly recommended for first time BASIC-Stamp users. The BOE comes with just a board and then we have to select a module, there are two most common modules used when it comes to student guides and robotics “Basic Stamp 2” & “Javelin Stamp”. Where as Basic Stamp 2(Shown in Figure>>) is widely used because of its easier and simpler language.
Basic Stamp 2

This is the brain of the Electronic Projects which require the programmable microcontroller. It has its own language called PBASIC (Parallax Basic) where Javelin Stamp uses Java. It is able to control and monitor timers, keypads, motors, sensors, switches, relays, lights, and more. Its programming is very Simple and easy to get.

It operates at 5 volts supply

Greetings, Iam a student of Bahçeşehir University, Istanbul pursuing M.Sc Mechatronics Engineering. Since my 1st year of bachelors I was always fond of making Projects of Electronics and Robotics Engineering. Idea of making this website came from the hardships which I myself faced whenever I wanted to make any electronics project.I was a rookie inexperienced student in my class who had a thrift to make electronics projects, but over internet it was so much difficult to teach myself. I spent hours in the labs to learn and make circuits on breadboard and when I mastered it, I thought to share all of the projects which I made during my bachelors of engineering with the hobbyists/students out there who are facing same difficulties like I faced. So if you’re rookie to this field, new to the world of Electronics and you don’t know where to start then Rookie Electronics is the right place. Here you will be able to learn Electronics practical knowledge starting from a very low level & slowly you’ll become master at it. I hope you find my work helpful. Good luck!
