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
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:
Solder each header into the Digispark, black plastic on top, solder from the bottom.
If you'd like to use your Digispark with a breadboard you can cut 6 and 2 pin lengths of male headers (included for Kickstarters and Pre-orders) insert the 6 pin into the corresponding header and the 2 pin into the 5v and GND portion of the 3 pin female header. Flip the Digispark upside down and it should plug into most breadboards with the 5v and GND being connected into the power bus.
