Hello,
I have purchased 2 nRF24L01+ boards.
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... cts_id=705
I want to solder them but have a question:
I want to solder the headers, but on what side should the "long legs" of the headers be? On the electronic part side or the other side with "Sparkfun.com"? Or does this not matter?
The thing is, if I put the long legs of the headers on the "Sparkfun.com" side, the antenna sits great on my breadboard but this is also the side with the fragile connection lines!! And I don't want to break them!!.
If I solder it the other way around (long side of the headers on the electronics side), the nrf24L01 board + headers do not fit very good into my breadboard!!
Please look at the pictures, I hope this will make it more clear
Thanks in advance.
