The Breakout Shield Kit breaks out each i/o connection on the Digispark development board and provides them as three pin headers with a 5V, Gnd, and i/o pin for each. This allows the easy connection of third-party and homemade sensors, servos, and more. The Version A kit provides headers in the order of GND / 5V / I/O Pin
Version B kit provides headers in the order of GND / I/O Pin / 5V

This is an unassembled kit and requires basic soldering. Use of it requires surface mount soldering. This is designed for use with the Digispark development board, which is not included.

**Soldering:** If you are new to soldering we recommend the following tutorials:
Soldering Basics (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/106) and Soldering Crash Course from the folks at Sparkfun (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/354).
How to solder from the Curious Inventor: http://store.curiousinventor.com/guides/How_to_Solder

Adafruit has this excellent guide that starts with the tools needed and then shows detailed pictures, including some of the common problems that beginners experience (http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering)

**We assume for these assembly instructions that you know the basics of thru-hole soldering. If you don't check out the links above, these boards are very easy to solder - we promise!**


=====Assembly:=====

[[https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/m/breakout1.jpg|{{https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/t/breakout1.jpg}}]]

Cut six lengths of male headers 3 pins long. Insert one each on the top of the board, into each set of 3 pin connections and solder each pin.

Cut a length of male headers 6 pins long and one 3 pins long. Insert into corresponding positions (on the bottom of the board) and solder each pin.

**Tip:** Inseting the headers into a breadboard and then placing the board on top can make this process easier.

**Note:** If you are using stackable headers, use them here instead of the standard male headers.

=====Programming:=====

Please refer to the sample code provided by the sensor or other module you will be attaching.
