Now we need to install the female headers onto the ESP32 Environment
Sensor Shield. We’ll do this using the pins we just soldered to the ESP32
Thing.
Take your female headers and place them on the male headers on the
ESP32 Thing, as shown here.
Because we used the breadboard to hold our pins perfectly perpendicular
to the ESP32 Thing board, the pins of the female headers should line up
perfectly with the holes on the ESP32 Environment Sensor Shield.
Be certain you've placed the shield in the proper orientation! The
component side of the shield should be facing the non-
component side of the ESP32 Thing! Double check that the pin
labels on the shield match those on the ESP32 Thing! Failure to
observe these facing rules will make everything horrible and
nothing will work!
Flip the board over before soldering the female header pins.
You may now solder the female header pins to the ESP32 Environment
Sensor Shield just like the male header pins for the ESP32 Thing.
Software
Besides the ESP32 Arduino Core, the ESP32 Environment Sensor Shield
also requires the CCS811, BME280 and APDS-9301 Arduino libraries. Be
sure to grab the libraries from each respective GitHub repositories, or you
can download the files directly from the buttons below:
