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

Resistor Values: For more information on how to identify the value of the resistors we recommend these sites: A nice simple resistor calculator: http://www.ealnet.com/m-eal/resistor/resistor.htm A comprehensive article on identification: http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Electronics/Color/

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!

Empty kit bag (or if using a raw PCB, aquire parts) and verify contents.

Insert 6 pin right angle socket into top of PCB - insert it into the set of 6 holes that say “BLE BT4” below them - this is the second set from the right edge of the board. Solder socket pins on the bottom of the board

Cut two lengths of male headers each 9 pins long and one 3 pins long. Insert into corresponding positions (on the bottom of the board) and solder each pin on the top.

Tip: Inserting 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.

Insert the HM-10 BLE breakout module into the 6 pin socket as shown.
