Assemble the Circuit
Gather your tools and supplies on a clean, stable work surface
with good lighting.
Start by soldering small stranded wires, about two inches long
each, to your electronic components ( Figure 7-3 ). Strip the wire
ends, twirl the stranded core to make it more easily pass
through the circuit boards' holes, and solder the ends to the
NeoPixel ring's IN, Vcc, and Gnd pads. It's best to solder on the
back side of this particular board, since the pads are quite close
to the leads of the NeoPixels on the front of the board, where a
large dab of solder could bridge the two.

Repeat the process of attaching wires to the GPS module (3.3V,
RX, TX, and GND) and the accelerometer/compass module (3V,
SDA, SCL, and GND).
Trim off any wire ends with a flush diagonal cutter.
