How do you solder the breakout board?

The breakout board comes with 4 headers and a battery connector.

How do you solder it? Which way is up? Where do you connect the other two headers?

The side with battery connector faces down, towards the flutter chip.

Take note that there is a silk screen marking ditigal pins 0 though 9, make sure they align on both boards.

Hello!
Good questions, I need to add all this to the Wiki.

Two black headers go on the middle rows on both sides, and the other two headers are extras for future projects, or they can be attached to the outer row of the breakout to be used like a miniature breadboard.

The battery connector faces the Flutter chip, which I call "up".

See this picture for an assembled Breakout.

Thanks!

Taylor,

If I look at the breakout board that I got, I see there are several other footprints on it. In the middle is a symbol like a power transistor or a linear regulator and next to the OSHW icon is an IC footprint. Also there is a BT footprint on the back.
Do you have the schematic that includes these footprints?

Ah, yes, I need to update the github. I will add that to my list. Those footprints are extra, for customer use.
