Installing Standard Headers
The shield comes with 0.1" standard header. Standard header does not permit stacking but it is mechanically stronger

to uninstall the headers once soldered in! Skip down to the bottom for the stacking tutorial
Break apart the 0.1" header into 6, 8 and/or 10-pin long
pieces and slip the long ends into the headers of your
