Stack and Connect Additional Parts!
Stack the ESP32 Thing on the ESP32 Thing Motion Shield.
ESP32 Thing, motion shield, GPS receiver, and battery installed. The ESP32 Thing is ready for code!
You can also install the stack in a breadboard, letting the antenna hang off the end so you have the most room left to
work with when prototyping. If using the BME280, install that on the breadboard as well and wire the sensor as
explained in the “Using the I2C and SPI Buses” example.
