Hi,
I'm a noob who's pretty much bad at soldering, still have a decent experience in collecting data from various devices.
What sensor would you recommend for me that I can plug/force onto the new Expansion Board without soldering?
Any feedback and advice is much appreciated!

You may want to look at the grove sensors.

There are some grove adapter wires for more common prototyping:

The grove sensors tend to fall into one of 3 categories:
1 - analog
2 - digital
3 - I2C based.
and you can purchase many of the sensrs through amazon as well

Thanks so much!
In the meantime I also got hold of an Artik 5

and an A41SK
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12728
I managed to figure how to make the A41SK sing with the ARTIK.
My new noob question is that if red wire goes 3V3, black goes GND where should the yellow analogue signal go?
Thanks in advance!

So I figured, signal went to G4 and it's works lovely.
>>> from machine import Pin
>>> import time
>>> from machine import ADC
>>> adc = ADC()
>>> apin = adc.channel(pin='GP4')
>>> while True:
... print(apin())
... time.sleep(1)
