Solder shield and connectors on HX711 board.

Solder shield and connectors on HX711 board. This is already done on the developer kits.

These steps are only necessary if you obtained parts independently.

Place shield over the components making sure all 5 tabs go into the holes.
Turn board over and bend the tab nearest the 4 holes toward the center of the board. Bend this tab all the way over so it will not interfere with installing the connector.
Solder all 5 tabs.
Place a piece of tape over the tab that was bent over.

Prepare connectors for installation on HX711 board.

The connector pins are too large for the holes. Each connector pin needs to be squeezed slightly with pliers.

Solder terminal blocks.

Turn the board over so the component side is up and solder the pins on the terminal blocks.
