The Dawm

Step 4 Pinheaders continued...

Solder either female or male pin headers to the side of the boards. The decision between female and male depends on your setup. If you want to stack the boards on top of each other alternate between one board with all female and one with all male and so on. The first board in your stack is recommended to have female pin headers for easy connection to microcontroller.

If you want to have cables between the boards you can either solder them directly on the board or solder female pin headers for easier prototyping and experimentation.
