SD Board
Now it’s time for a little challenge. Solder the SD card holder to its little board. It is SMD component but
don’t let that scare you, it’s pretty simple. A fine tip soldering iron is suggested here.
Then carefully place the card holder on top and make sure it's aligned properly, maybe hold in place with
tweezers. Solder the top side pads to make the card holder stick to the board, check that the holder sits flat
on the board. Carefully solder the rest of the leads, by placing the soldering iron perpendicular to the edge
of the lead and applying solder to the pad. Make sure that they don't bridge.
Alternatively you can apply some solder to all the pads before
placing the card holder and then re heat them.
Super mega important!!! Respect chip polarity.
Before connecting the boards together again, insert the IC chips into their sockets of the bottom board.
Again make sure that the
notch
on the chips is
facing the same direction
as the notch on the sockets.
