Thanks for all the information, guys. I think the answers are: 1. yes, some soldering is involved. Guess I'll get on Amazon later today 2. the name for the piece(s) I need is "pin headers." I'll be getting some of these as well.
Maybe this kind of thing is obvious to everyone but me, but...I wish that Dr. Molloy had been a little more explicit and thorough when specifying the parts needed to perform the exercises in his book. I live in an area where I can't just run out and buy these components, so this business of incrementally discovering what I need, and ordering it, is time consuming and costs a lot in shipping. Anyway...not your problem. Thanks again.
