======Soldering Headers to the Digispark====== =====Parts:===== ^ Part ^ Quantity ^Identification^ | Digispark|1| | | 1x6pin female 0.1" pitch header| 1| | | 1x3pin female 0.1" pitch header| 1| | **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/digispark2.jpg|{{https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/t/digispark2.jpg}}]] Solder each header into the Digispark, black plastic on top, solder from the bottom.

Flip the Digispark upside down and it should plug into most breadboards with the 5v and GND being connected into the power bus.
