Printed circuit boards are used for various product manufacturing and assisting purposes. This paper deals with a multifaceted trainer board for integrating various modules for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. As IoT plays a major role in the upcoming technological growth, the next generation of students need to learn about the hardware and software involved in a more effective manner. Also hardware is vital for hands-on training. To guide the students and aspirants to apply various ideas onto one board requires a perfect trainer board. Moreover, this trainer board should be well flexible to handle a vast variety of modules. Arduino Mega, is one example, where programming and interfacing of modules are easy and well-suited to develop IoT applications. This novel trainer board is designed for interfacing with the Arduino Mega, HC-05 (Bluetooth module) and Node MCU (Wi-Fi module) that are embedded on the board. The main purpose is to interface various Analog/Digital/PWM pins with various devices. Each Digital or analog pins are connected with 3-port or 4-port female headers to enable various modules to be linked with the board. Also, each 3 or 4-port header pins are connected with power supply and ground by default and there are interlinks between Analog/digital I/O. The board and external modules can be powered with 5V, 9V and 12V which can be selected based on the application.
