Using this Circuit Playground Prototype Gadget is a breeze. First, take the PCB with pre - soldered standoffs and attach it to your Circuit Playground using the 12 M3 screws provided. You can connect your circuits by soldering to the gold - plated traces. Make sure to connect to the large oval pads on each part of the PCB. The blue - marked Ground rail and red - marked 3.3V rail in the center are important for proper circuit operation. As for the side - connected groups marked in black on top, they also play a key role in your circuit. After you've created your custom invention, you can easily screw the gizmo on and off whenever you need to. When it comes to maintenance, keep the PCB clean and dry. Avoid getting it wet as it may damage the electrical connections. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place. And always be careful when soldering to prevent any accidental burns or damage to the PCB.
