Mounting To The Arduino Board; Plugging In Power - Blackmagic Design Design 3G-Sdi Arduino Shield Installations- Und Betriebs-Anleitung

TIP To help make sure all pins on your shield are aligned with the
female header pin slots on the Arduino board, it's helpful to solder just
one pin on each header first. Now place the shield onto the Arduino
board to check the pin alignment. If any headers need adjusting, you
can then warm the solder joint on the corresponding header and
improve its alignment. This is a much easier method than soldering all
the joints first and then trying to make adjustments.

Mounting to the Arduino Board

Now that your headers are soldered to your shield, you can mount the 3G-SDI shield to your
Arduino board.
Carefully holding each side of the shield, align the header pins with your Arduino board's
headers and gently push the pins into the header slots. Be careful not to bend any of the pins
while mounting the shield.
With all pins plugged in, the connection between the Blackmagic
shield and the Arduino board should be firm and stable.

Plugging in Power

To power your Blackmagic 3G-SDI Arduino Shield, simply plug in a 12V power adapter into the
12V power input on your Blackmagic shield.
NOTE Plugging power into the Arduino board will not provide sufficient
power to the Blackmagic shield, however, powering the Blackmagic
shield will provide power to the Arduino as well, so make sure power is
connected to your Blackmagic shield only.
