Really hard to appreciate it in photos. It's so much nicer!

Video tutorial:

Step 1:

* 2x20 header pins

* soldering iron

* wire snips

* empty proto board

You're going to have put in a little more effort to solder the gpio headers on. But it's not terrible.

Step 2: Solder!

ps - Pi Zeros are only sold in bulk WITHOUT the headers soldered on. Anyone who thinks you can make mad profits by selling preassembled nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mz7qguwaehxw309ahx7um5wgknytn6v43x2er9v5hxxmr0w4jz7qgkwaehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzpukfdjtlvsv62w8cfnel5uhzr9rqtcvysztwdeghpn89kanen4qq5tgdpe hardware is OUT OF THEIR F'N MINDS.

This is 8x speed. Yeah, with practice I could get faster. But still. GTFO.

Step 3: Inspect your work.

Hey, look, something went wrong. Because of course!

Pro tip: I did the soldering with an old broken display hat, not knowing if the heat or anything else might screw it up (I think that loose pin was due to a flaw in the old hat's connector).

Step 4: Inspect again, trim solder cones.

Off camera I did find one more bad solder (the pin came loose) that I had to repair.

Step 5: Final assembly, boot up and test!
