Wire for Switch
Use a piece of ribbon cable to connect the switch to the Feather. A 2-wire piece will connect to the Enable and Ground pins.
Wire Length: 9cm (3.5in)
Tinning Wire
Using wire stripper, remove a bit of insulation for the tips of each wire. Add a bit of solder to the exposed wire. This will help to prevent the strands of wire from fraying.
Use a pair of helping third hands to hold the wire in place while soldering.
Solder Wire
Cut one of the three leads from the slide. Either the far left or right but not the middle! Trim the remaining leads short, about half the original length.
Add a bit of solder to the leads of the slide switch. This will make it easier to attach the wires.
Solder the 2-wire ribbon cable to the leads on the slide switch.
Solder Switch to Feather
Add a bit of solder to the Enable and Ground pins on the bottom of the Feather.
Solder the wires to the Enable and Ground pins on the Feather.
Use helping third hands to keep the board in place while soldering.
