Assembly
Solder on Headers and Terminal Block
Before we can motorin' there's a little soldering to be done. This step will attach the 2x20 socket header so that we
can plug this HAT into a Raspberry Pi, and the terminal blocks so you can attach external power and motors.
Start by plugging the 2x20 header into a Raspberry Pi,
this will keep the header stable while you solder. Make
sure the Pi is powered down!
Place the HAT on top so that the short pins of the 2x20
header line up with the pads on the HAT
