Datasheet

Next we will solder in the two 3.5mm terminal blocks
used to connect power & the motor to the breakout
board.
Make sure the open parts of the terminals face
outwards so you can easily connect wires
To make it easier to keep these in place, you can use
some tape to hold down the two header pieces. Tacky
clay also works, whatever you've got handy!
Solder in both pins of each terminal block. You can
remove the tape when done.
