Abstract

An open hardware education kit is provided. The open hardware education kit comprises an expansion board. The expansion board comprises a plurality of metal terminals joinable with a magnet, a plurality of conductive connection wires respectively connected with the metal terminals, and a plurality of pin headers respectively connected with the connection wires. The plurality of pin headers are joinable with an expansion header of open hardware.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An open hardware education kit comprising an expansion board, the expansion board comprising:
a plurality of metal terminals joinable with a magnet;
a plurality of conductive connection wires respectively electrically connected to the plurality of metal terminals; and
a plurality of pin headers respectively electrically connected to the plurality of conductive connection wires via a printed or applied conductive material,
wherein the plurality of pin headers is joinable with an expansion header, the expansion header comprising a connector which is configured to expand functionality of a circuit board.

2. The open hardware education kit of claim 1 , wherein the expansion board comprises a display of information about pins of the expansion header connected with the metal terminals.

3. The open hardware education kit of claim 1 , further comprising
one or more jumper wires to connect the expansion board with a bread board,
wherein the jumper wires comprise a first magnet terminal, a second magnet terminal, and a connection wire transferring an electric signal between the first magnet terminal and the second magnet terminal.

4. The open hardware education kit of claim 3 , further comprising
a bread board configured to transfer an electric signal through the expansion board and the bread-board specific jumper wire,
wherein the bread board comprises a metal layer joinable with a magnet, an insulation later placed on the metal layer, and a plurality of conductive pads placed on the insulation later.

5. The open hardware education kit of claim 4 , wherein each width of the plurality of conductive pads is formed in a specific width and an interval between adjacent conductive pads is larger than the specific width.
