RP2040

Materials

1 RP2040 Microcontroller Chip
14 Pin Headers

Soldering

Here are the pin headers that will be soldered on to the RP2040:

rp2040_1

I then snapped the pin header row in half so I could solder one half to each side of the RP2040.

Next, I pushed the legs into the RP2040 to ensure that it all fit together.

rp2040_4

After soldering the pin headers on, I plugged the RP2040 into my computer and uploaded the code that would blind the LED.
