To solder you'll of course need a soldering iron, soldering tin, and some flux. If you're new to soldering check out some [soldering tutorial videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpkkfK937mU&ab_channel=CuriousInventor) while you're at it.

If you're intimidated by soldering you could get away with holding the headers with jumper wires in the pin holes during flashing but it is not a foolproof process and flashing might fail.

### Jumper wires ### Jumper wires
You could use any kind of wire but [jumper wires](http://blog.sparkfuneducation.com/what-is-jumper-wire) (also called DuPont wires) are more practical than soldering and desoldering.
