Quickstart: 

1.Solder stackable headers to the EL Escudo Dos. 
2.Plug the EL Escudo Dos into the Arduino of your choice. 
3.Attach an EL inverter to the "DC TO INVERTER" and "AC FROM INVERTER" connectors on the EL Escudo Dos. (You may need to configure the EL Escudo to ensure that the voltage coming from the "DC TO INVERTER" connector is appropriate for your inverter, see below.) 
4.Attach your EL wire / tape / panels to the "A " through "H" output connectors. 
5.Load the example sketch or your own code onto the Arduino. 
6.Glow
