Board Assembly:

All surface mount components are pre-soldered to the board. You can solder connections directly to the board, or you can install the header strip (provided) to simplify use in a breadboard.

Position the header

Cut the header to length if necessary and insert - long pins down - into a breadboard.

Position the board

Place the board on top of the header pins. Prop the back-side up of necessary to level the board before soldering.

And Solder!

Solder each pin to assure a good electrical connection.
