Prop Project Board questions

Hello!
Well one of them.

It describes itself capable of making use of the boards that the QS board would use by attaching it to the appropriate pin rows on the board.

How? It is a populated bare board. I imagine I would need to install a row of header sockets similar to these:

In fact for what I'm planning (finally) those will be appropriate.

    The female header is under Creative Commons license?

    Do you still have questions about the Prop Project Board? It seems like you answered the question yourself.

    Yes, you need to add headers to area of the board with the holes arranged similar to those on a QuickStart.

    Hello!
    More like I had questions about those perceptions of the descriptions for the board. And according to Sparkfun, (did you examine the linked page?) the images of the headers were under that interesting license.

    Further I popped into the Micro Center in Brooklyn today ostensibly to buy some other items, and recalled studying that board on their site, since the supplied (by them) sales person was laboring under false pretense ( which was supplied by the company, he was insufficiently trained) and I ended up not buying those items. Instead I selected that board. I also mentioned that the Prop boards and regular chip were better at doing things then the available Arduino boards, he should recommend them more than the Ard*** ones. I used for example the board I chose, and the QS one, and a PAB.

    I also mentioned the other product I was used to, a BOE, and mentioned what it would evolve into, and then pointed to the Shield the company sells in the shape of a BOE, from there I also reminded him that the selected BOE also needed a BS2.

    By the time I was done and checked out I felt that the sales person would have a lot to think about.

    Note to Parallax Staff, every location listed as a retail for Parallax products on http://www.parallax.com/rt need to have its staff properly trained. And that would include having people from Parallax facilitate a good portion of it.
