I'm new to arduino and have bought a L293D motor driver shield which have no heads on the pins. I looked at the pinout and it seems that shield does not use any of the pins "by default". So will it work properly if I connect it like it isn't a shield(without mounting), because I need to use other pins and it would be nice if I don't need to solder them. I know it's some basic stuff but I want to avoid messing up at the very beginning if I don't have to. Thanks.

1As long as you connect all the pins that need to be connected there is no reason the shield has to be mounted on top of the Arduino. – Delta_G Apr 25 '20 at 0:00

Thank you for answering, missing headers confused me on this shield. – kaktus_car Apr 25 '20 at 0:25
