Solder shield and connectors
Solder shield and connectors on HX711 board. This is already done on the developer kits, This step is only necessary if you obtain 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 tabe over the tab that was bent over.
The connector pins are too large for the holes. Each connector pin need to be squeezed slightly with pliers.
