I was wondering if I need to solder because I don't want to solder everything.
DFTBA,
Jacob

Re: Are there pins that need to be soldered
Soldering is a required skill for this project if you want to do it yourself. It's not terribly difficult but can be hard for a first timer. If you do want to attempt the soldering, I highly recommend getting a couple of practice boards and using those before attempting to solder anything together on a kit: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=4530
Both Will and I also offer a soldering service where you can send it to one of us and we will solder everything and text it for you so you can do the final assembly.

that's not what I meant. I wonder if there are unused pins.

I don't follow. Do you mean if there are unused GPIO pins from the pi?

Re: Are there pins that need to be soldered
Only 2 pins are unused and if you follow the test point picture you could have figured out how many. Even if only 1 GND pin for example is shown on the test point image it's a good idea to solder them all so you have a better chance of GND being solid.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

We will not support any cloned work so don't come to us with technical issues to resolve, go talk to the cloner for help.
