My new shield has arrived<\/h3>\n

Some time ago my g-shield broke (see this post<\/a>) and I ordered a new gaups shield<\/a> from ASL<\/a> which arrived last week. It’s a kit so some skills in soldering is required (I’m not very good at it) but never the less assembly is quite easy when you follow the instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When soldering the female headers for the drivers onto the pcb I remembered a trick I saw somewhere on the Internet: Use the Arduino stacking headers to hold the female headers in place until they’re attached to the pcb:<\/p>\n

The distance between the female headers matches the distance between six pins on the stacking headers. So I arranged the headers as seen in the photo and turned the whole thing upside down and started soldering:<\/p>\n

Now I’m just waiting for my Pololu drivers to arrive… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
