Attach the BOE Shield to the Chassis

Parts List

(4)  pan-head screws, 1/4″ 4-40
(1)  Board of Education Shield mounted to your Arduino module and secured with standoffs.

Instructions

• Set the BOE Shield on the four standoffs, lining them up with the four mounting holes on the outer corner of the board.
• Make sure the white breadboard is closer to the drive wheels, not the tail wheel.
• Attach the board to the standoffs with the pan head screws.
• Reconnect the servos to the servo headers.

Using Different Pins for the Servos

The Arduino toggles Pin 13 briefly upon startup or reset.  If this causes problems for a particular application, you can use Pins 11 and 12 instead of 12 and 13. Be sure to adjust your code accordingly.

If you are building the BOE Shield-Bot to use with ROBOTC instead of for this tutorial, follow these instructions for using different servo ports.

• From the underside of the chassis, pull any excess servo and battery cable through the rubber grommet hole, and tuck the excess cable lengths between the servos and the chassis.
