Using this Pi GPIO reference board is a breeze. First, identify your Raspberry Pi Model B. Make sure it's either Rev 1 or Rev 2 as the board is compatible with these versions. When you're ready to connect wires, take the board and attach it to the GPIO pins. Since it's idiot - proof, you don't have to worry about putting it on backwards. Just align it and it'll fit right in. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from dust. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Also, be careful not to bend the board because it's only 0.8mm thick. And don't forget, this board is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Model B, so don't try to use it with other models.
