2x20 Socket Header

Use a 2x20 socket header to easily connect the NFC breakout to the GPIO headers on the Pi.

Get the socket header ready to solder wires. 

Solder Wires to Socket Headers

Create 6 wires using the different colored spools of wire, each about 10cm (4 inches) in length.

Solder the colored wires to their corresponding pins on the socket header:

• Left side, top to bottom: red, green, blue, yellow, black
• Right side, top pin: white

Solder Wires to NFC Breakout

Solder the colored wires to their corresponding pins on the NFC breakout board.

• Red wire to 3.3V
• Green wire to MOSI
• Blue wire to MISO
• Yellow wire to SCK
• Black wire to GND
• White wire to SSEL

Enable SPI on NFC Breakout

Use right-angled header pins to create a slim jumper.

Break off two pieces of 3-pin right-angled headers. Insert them onto the back of the NFC breakout PCB and solder them in place. 

Insert the included jumper to enable SPI. 

Connection Test

Plug the socket header into the SPI0 GPIO header pins on the Pi. Reference the Circuit Diagram page for the correct placement.

You'll disconnect for placement into the enclosure on the next page.
