xbee arduino shield - connecting the shield and arduino

Wireless & IoT
1

this is a primitive problem, but I am trying to easily connect the xbee shield to the arduino board. I purchased the header connectors, but it seems like I am going to need to solder them together in order for the connections between the arduino and the shield are good. I was under the impression that there was an easy way to do it.

How do you connect the shield to the arduino unit?

thanks.

I’m not entirely sure what you are asking. You just solder the headers in the appropriate places on the shield and then insert the shield into the Arduino.

Does that answer your question, or were you asking something different?
