Hi,
(I am no native speaker of the English Language. I may mess up my sentences...)
Yesterday I received my brand new Teensy 3.6 and I generated a lot of prime numbers with it as a first check/fun "project".
Currently I am using the Arduino IDE on GENTOO Linux.
No headers are soldered to my Teensy 3.6 currently.
I dont like headers that much (and...how is the counterpart named..."anti-headers", "pins", or "male and female headers" ??? )...
The """problem""" I have with headers is: There are adding a lot of space to a board (and to anything else, which is used the same way),
which was designed to be small as possible -- for example by adding extra pads to the back side of the PCB.
I use tiny boost/buck converters of the size of my thumb nail, which size are doubled when using those headers.
I would use simple wires soldered to the pads of my Teensy 3.6. - but this would stop its interchangebility between different projects to try.
Currently I cannot afford being a new Teensy 3.6 for each project, which I am interested in.
To cut a long story short:
Are additional boards (like the audio board) sold with headers already soldered or not?
(If already soldered I would be bound to use headers...)
(as headers).
For me there is no problem to create a little adapter board, which maps this alternative "header" to a ordinary header setup
to make my Teensy 3.6 useable on breadboards...
Thanks for any help in advance!
Cheers!
Meino

- Are there any alternatives to standard headers, which are not that spacey and can be used instead?
