Assembly is really easy, you can use straight or 'right-angle' style headers to attach to the PCB. We'll be using the plain straight headers included
The board comes with all surface-mount components pre-soldered. The included header strip can be soldered on for convenient use on a breadboard or with 0.1" connectors. You can also skip this step and solder on wires.
Prepare the header strip:Cut the strip to length if necessary. It will be easier to solder if you insert it into a breadboard - long pins down |
|
Add the breakout board:Place the breakout board over the pins so that the short pins poke through the breakout pads
|
And Solder!Be sure to solder all 5 pins for reliable electrical contact. |

You're done! Check your solder joints visually and continue onto the next steps |
