The Board of Education (BOE) was originally designed in coordination with our educational customers to teach microcontroller programming and this remains today as the most popular application.
Our BOE programming board does not include a BASIC Stamp 2 module so you will need to purchase one separately or find a starter kit which matches your needs. Potential options with a BASIC Stamp 2 module (BS2-IC) include the designed-for-education BOE Full Kit (#28803) and the comprehensive the BASIC Stamp Discovery Kit USB (#27807)
