Embarassingly Easy Arduino ProtoShield

Step 6 Make the Shield (with the headers on the correct side)

Most people will want to put their headers on the copper side of the board. to do this:

• cover the target holes with solder
• use your soldering iron to clear the holes
• apply some solder to the header pins (tin them)
• put the header in place
• heat the pad next to the pins and the solder will melt and form a connection

Note: it's best to do the final step with the arduino attached so you can be sure the pins are all aligned
