How to Solder a Wire to a Header Pin

Soldering a wire to a metal pin of a header is tricky. The problem with simply soldering a wire to a metal pin is that the wire can easily break off of the pin. The solution is to create a mechanical connection with the wire to the pin and then soldering the wire. A mechanical connection in this case is simply taking the wire and looping it once around the pin.

Extra hands are used to assist in the holding of the headers while soldering
