2.2.2 Assembling the Adafruit shield
The Adafruit TFT shield comes with all surface mount parts pre-soldered. User can install
the headers following the next steps:
• Cut the breakaway header strip into sections to fit the holes on the edge of the shield:
two sections of 6 pins and two other sections of 8 pins are needed.
• To align the header strips for soldering, insert them (long pins down) into the headers of
the STM32 Nucleo board using the connectors CN5, CN6, CN8 and CN9.
• Place the shield over the header strips so that the short pins stick up through the holes.
• Solder on each pin of the header onto the shield PCB to ensure good electrical contact.
The sequence is shown in Figure 4.
