If you have the breadboard version of this sensor, you'll want to solder some header onto the sensor so it can be used in a breadboard. The Flora version does not require any extra assembly
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 pins for reliable electrical contact.Solder the longer power/data strip first
(For tips on soldering, be sure to check out our Guide to Excellent Soldering).
If you plan to use the interrupts and/or you want the board to sit flatter in a breadboard, solder up the other strip!
