Custom Green Board

We have developed a custom green board to make using the Parallax Propeller easier for educational purposes and rapid prototyping. This custom module provides additional functionality and simplified connections for common IoT applications.

Here is the schematic for the custom green board we developed:

The custom module is designed to attach directly to the Parallax Propeller Activity Board, providing additional functionality while maintaining compatibility with existing projects and tutorials.

• Simplified Connections: Pre-wired common sensor and actuator connections
• Educational Focus: Designed specifically for learning IoT concepts
• Plug-and-Play: Easy attachment to existing Parallax boards
• Prototyping Friendly: Additional breadboard space and connection points
• Course Integration: Optimized for TAE30 course laboratory exercises

This custom board is specifically designed to support the laboratory exercises in this course. It provides:

• Simplified sensor connections for temperature and humidity measurements
• Easy access to common I/O pins used in course projects
• Pre-configured power distribution for typical IoT applications
• Standardized connection points for consistent lab experiences

1. Attachment: Carefully align and attach the custom board to your Parallax Activity Board
2. Power Check: Verify proper power connections before first use
3. Pin Mapping: Refer to course materials for specific pin assignments
4. Testing: Run basic connectivity tests before starting lab exercises

For specific questions about the custom board usage in course laboratories, please refer to:

• Course laboratory manuals for pin assignments
• Instructor guidance during lab sessions
• Course discussion forums for troubleshooting
