GPIO Now Accessible!!

Well at long last I received the small parts I was waiting on... almost all of them.
I have yet to receive pin headers but went ahead with some female pin headers that I found along with the jumpers I did receive.


As previously mentioned I am using the SparkFun GPIO Block.
Here are some pictures from soldering the female pin headers on the GPIO Block:

(Sorry about the layout of the pics... the built-in WYSIWYG editor of blogger is annoying but I promised myself I wouldn't get hung up on that while documenting this process.)

Anyway as you can see I have the female headers all soldered up and now the GPIO of the Edison is at our disposal!

Next post will be continuing our connections to this newly available hardware!!
