How to Solder: Through-Hole Soldering

Users who prefer a soldered connection or want to communicate with the display over SPI will need to carefully solder to the 0.1" PTH header on the side of the board. The glass of the display overhangs these pins slightly so you'll need to take great care when soldering to avoid damaging the display. The OLED is adhered to the board with a double-sided adhesive so we recommend using a precision crafting knife (think X-ACTO or similar knives) to carefully separate the OLED from the board prior to soldering.
