Sept. 2017 Update: Maker Board now has two fuses to make it less likely to 'pop' an LED light. This allowed us to remove the fuse from Carrier Board for a tougher, simpler kit. June 2017 Update:
This product now contains Carrier Board 2.0, which has:
- More clear numbering so that ports are easier to see.
- Fewer "+" ports.
- No AA battery pack connectors. Maker Board circuits can be powered by a 5V USB battery or USB port on a computer.
- Snug ports so components have a more reliable connection.nineteen
