Step 3Hook up the Emic Text-to-Speech module
iImage Information

The Emic TTS module is a little big to just insert straight into the breadboard, and the pins on it are not at a right angle, so it will stick out and look ugly of you just pop it on the breadboard. So we will mount it on the back of the carrier board, and use the female-to-female hookup cables to hook it into the breadboard. Use an anti-static bag to keep the Emic TTS module in so that the circuit on the module won't short circuit itself/ the carrier board (or both) when piggybacking under the carrier board. Bring the hookup wire around and insert an 8-pin header row onto the breadboard, and then the hookup wires onto the header pins. Lastly, secure the TTS module to the carrier board with two rubber bands. We will worry about the connections in the next step.
