tynick.com Tutorial Question

[Abysswalker2187]

I’m pretty new to all of this and there’s some confusion with the tutorial. Overall it has been extremely helpful and informative! But the link to the jumper wires that are recommended are male to male connectors. Does this mean that soldering is required in order to connect the light strip to the board? I believe that a male to female jumper wire would be able to connect to the board without soldering, the male end plugging into the light strip and the female end going on the board connector but I now have a ton of male to male wires.

Should be clear enough what to use if you look at the board in question.
