The Breadboard Breakout for Analog Discovery directly connects each of the pins of the Analog Discovery header to the breadboard breakout pins. Each breadboard breakout pin has the name of the Analog Discovery header pin written next to it on the Breadboard Breakout silkscreen. See the host device's reference manual for more information on the use of each of these pins.

There are three different ways to connect the Breadboard Breakout for Analog Discovery to an Analog Discovery Device.
  * 1. Mount the Analog Discovery vertically on the Breadboard Breakout.
  * 2. Use the Analog Discovery Flywire Assembly and provided 2x15 Gender Changer to connect the device to the Breadboard Breakout.
  * 3. Use the optional Analog Discovery 2x15 Ribbon Cable and 2x15 Gender Changer to connect the device to the Breadboard Breakout.

**NOTE:** //Take care not to damage the Analog Discovery device by applying too much pressure across the 2x15 header.//
