Weld 1 Wire to the Olimex Card

Equipment Needed

  • A20 Olimex card
  • 15 cm of red wire which has been tinned at both ends
  • Soldering iron
  • Tin

Assembly

  1. Locate the GPIO 3 (see the yellow circle in the photo). Then locate prong # 33, circled in red. It is four prongs up from the bottom left-hand side of the GPIO 3.
  2. Tin prong # 33 to ensure easy welding of the wire.
  3. Weld the red wire onto prong # 33 of the GPIO-3 connector on the Olimex card.

    Do not heat the prongs for too long during welding. Make sure the tin does not touch the adjacent prongs.
