Hardware Assembly
As previously mentioned, it’s a good idea to use headers (both male and female) to connect the two boards. Here we’ll show you a
bomb-proof method to solder down the headers and making sure that they’re true and square so it’s easier to connect (and
disconnect) the two boards.
Trim the Headers
When you purchase male and female headers, they’ll be too long for the ESP32 Thing and Environment Sensor Shield. You’ll need
to trim them down to an appropriate length. This means 20 pins each.
For the male headers, this is relatively easy–they’re designed to be trimmed or snapped to length. They come in 40-position
pieces, so you’ll only need to order one and then snap it in half.
