Solder Wires from Particle to Asset Tracker

Due to space constraints, I need to unstack the Particle from the Asset Tracker v2 and have them mounted next to each other. I was planning to remove the pins and connectors from the boards and solder wires connecting the necessary pins. To figure out which connections were needed, I placed the Particle in a breadboard and wired only the pins I found necessary using this diagram.

These were the pins I initially connected:
VIN
GND
TX
RX
WKP
A5
A4
A3
A2
3V3
GND
D6

I was not getting any response from the Asset Tracker, so I tried some other pins. When I connected RST and VBAT along with the ones above, the red light on the asset tracker blinked like it does when it gets a GPS fix, but when I call the GPS function it does not return a location (using the same code that worked before with the Particle stacked on the Asset Tracker).

Can someone tell me if there are other pins that I need to connect for this to work, or if there is something else that I’m missing?

Hmm… It looks like you have the required pins wired up. Can you check with a multimeter that they are connected properly?

Huh, it’s working now. Maybe it was an intermittent connection.
