XBeeRadioBreakoutBoard_Soldering
Posted on May 24th, 2008 by al861
Thursday (May 22), I spent the morning soldering male and female headers to my XBee breakout board. I used the picture at
Sparkfun (3rd picture) to make sure that I soldered female headers on the 2 out rows (on the side which is printed with pin numbers) and I soldered male headers on the 2 inner rows (on the underside of the breakout board). I found that it was much easier to plug the male headers into my breadboard and then solder the breakout board to the headers. This technique insured that the male headers were completely straight. Now I am ready for the configuring process!
