RGB LED game shield for arduino

Step 3 Bend the headers

the make the headers work for this shield, use pliers and push the smaller part down so the longer part gets longer. Now cut two of the headers into blocks of 6 and the other 2 headers into blocks of 8.

The arduino does not have all .1" spacing, so we have to accomodate for that. Take one of the 8-blocks and bend all the pinsto one way about 30 degrees. Now,grab the pins a little higher with the pliers and bend them back to normal. This should offset them just enough to fit the arduino.
