Now we will solder all 26 pins for the plate - this
will send power and data between the two
boards and also provide a mechanical stability.
You may need to hold the plate down with tape
to get it sitting flat against the Pi.
Solder in one pin, we suggest the top right,
then check if the plate is sitting flat. If not, heat
up the joint with one hand while stabilizing with
the other until its right.
Then solder the other 25 pins
