### Attach the header ### Attach the header
For this example we'll show you how to connect a stackable header, as it's the most complex.
Due to the length of the stackable headers pins, it can sometimes be a hassle to get them through the holes on the board.
We've found that if you slide up the spacer on the stackable header so that it is near the top, you can get the pins into the boards header holes a lot easier and then slide the spacer back down again.

Once you have your header in place, use some plasticine to make sure the board is level and then solder away. You should solder a single pin first, then make sure the header is level - if it isn't then apply the soldering iron to the pin again and move the header until it is correct.

Now that your board is set up, it's time to configure your Raspberry Pi so that you can use it.

Before we can start using the 640 board we need to enable the interfaces that the board uses on your Raspberry Pi. Before we can start using the 640 board we need to enable the interfaces that the board uses on your Raspberry Pi.
