Wires
You'll also need some way to connect between the board and an Arduino. You could use a combination of male
headers and breadboard (solderless or solderable). Or you could just go with a few pieces of hookup wire or 3-pin
JST-SM pigtail connectors.

Tools
In order to get a good, solid, electrically-sound connection to the breakout boards, you'll need to solder to the
pins. That means you'll need at least a basic soldering iron, solder, and general soldering accessories. Check out
our how to solder tutorial for help, if this is you first time soldering.
