The Ardweeny: the little friend of the Arduino (and how to beef it up)

Step 7Customization 1: Soldering the socket headers

Customization 1: Soldering the socket headers
Let's make our Ardweeny stronger than stock! Instead of using the two sets of 6-pin and 8-pin strips, we are going to use the longer, stronger 6 & 8-pin socket headers!

An easy way to solder the socket headers is to put them all first, flip it over, and solder them. Again (like with the programming header), start by soldering only one pin per header to make sure they are all sitting nice and flat to the PCB, and in a straight line.

When you are sure they look nice and neat, solder the rest of the pins to the PCB.
