BlueBoard Base is modular approach to the ever evolving design of our flagship product Blueboard-LPC2148. It is designed keeping in mind the product development cycle, which could involve working on different controllers but would prefer the same peripheral interface. It is also designed considering budget constraint of a hobby enthusiast who would be trying out different controllers but would not be willing to invest in different boards for each controller. For all these, the user can buy the required stamp module and work on this board.

BlueBoard Base and Blueboard Stamp modules together serve as an excellent platform to evaluate various architectures like ARM7, CORTEX-M3, CORTEX-M0... etc. Here is the list of stamp modules that could be used with BlueBoard Base
