##### Description

There are now two Breakout Boards for P2 Edge Modules. What is the difference?

The new [P2 Edge Breakout Board (#64029)](https://www.parallax.com/product/p2-edge-breakout-board/) includes power jumpers to allow customers more flexibility in how they connect and control power to the board.

This [P2 Edge Breakout Board (#64029)](https://www.parallax.com/product/p2-edge-breakout-board/) provides access to every I/O pin available on the [P2 Edge Module (#P2-EC)](https://www.parallax.com/product/p2-edge-module/). We also have a [P2 Edge Mini Breakout Board (#64019)](https://www.parallax.com/product/p2-edge-mini-breakout-board/) for customers that don’t require all the I/O pins, or are working with the [P2 Edge Module with 32MB RAM (#P2-EC32MB)](https://www.parallax.com/product/p2-edge-module-with-32mb-ram/).
