Attaching and Soldering Headers

Your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield is supplied with 4 stackable headers, including two
8 pin headers, a 10 pin, and a 6 pin header. Headers are bridging connectors used to mount
your shield to the Arduino board, and because they are stackable you can attach other shields
on top with additional components, such as control buttons, knobs and joysticks. The header
layout supports mounting to Arduino boards with an R3 footprint, such as the Arduino UNO.
To attach the headers to your shield:
1 Insert the pins of each header through the corresponding pin holes on each side of
your Blackmagic Arduino shield. Refer to the illustration below for the header layout
arrangement.

NOTE When connecting to the shield, communication is via I
Serial. We recommend I
and makes all other pins available. Select the communication mode
when defining the BMDSDIControl object in the sketch. Refer to the
'Communicating with your Arduino Shield' section for more information.
2 Solder the base of each header pin to the underside of your shield. Make sure
the solder on each pin creates a firm join with the pin hole, but does not touch
the solder on nearby pins.
