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 fool proof 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.
