This guide offers detailed instructions on soldering leads to the serial port or I2C interface on the Beetle, highlighting the importance of correct orientation and considering voltage specifications for Vcc pins on analog and digital expansion pins.
Other Supplementary Information
- If you plan to use the serial port or I2C interface you will need to solder leads to the solder pads on the back of the Beetle, as pictured:
- When soldering the Beetle to the Shield, make sure the orientation of the Beetle is correct so as to avoid connecting the wrong pins. The beetle should sit on the shield as pictured:
- Please note that the Vcc pins for analog expansion pins is fixed at 5v. The Vcc pins for digital expansion pins is dependent on your power supply (5-8v DC)
