Connecting the Hardware
The qwiic connect ecosystem has made this project practically solderless, although we are going a little over the top and adding a metal pushbutton that requires soldering. It’s best to split the start and finish into two separate setups, then finish up by adding the casing and pushbuttons.
If you aren't familiar with the Qwiic system or new to SparkFun electronics, we recommend utilizing these tutorials. Our tutorials will go in depth on the basics of setting up your devices. Also, nothing goes as expected when creating a project, so these will be great resources for troubleshooting.
