Connecting the electronics
Let's attach all the electronics to the expansion plate. The following steps will guide you how to attach and wire them:
- Using four aluminum standoffs, attach the FeatherWing Doubler - Prototyping Add-on to the base plate (Figure 8.4):

- Take the Adafruit Stepper and DC Motor FeatherWing and a stick of extra-long male header, and break off five pieces, carefully pulling (or cutting) out the middle one.
- Insert it into M3 and M4. This will make it easy to connect and disconnect the DC motors (Figure 8.6):
