Main PCB / “Motherboard”
Step 1
Take the 40 pin machine pin socket strips and cut one in half (2 pieces 20 pins each) using a sharp utility
knife or side cutters. Also cut 2 x 7 pin pieces from the remaining piece. Tip: You can measure the cut
using the PCB as a guide.
Step 2
Solder the machine pin strips IC into place for IC1 and IC2. Tip: This step can be made a lot easier using a
small piece of scrap metal or rigid cardboard slightly larger than the PCB.
First insert the machine pin strips into place, then sitting the metal/cardboard on top and applying a
small amount of pressure, flip the board over so the pins can be soldered in place.
Tip:
Solder only 2 pins of each socket at first to hold them into place. Now flip the board over to make
sure the socket strips are sitting at right angles to the PCB. If required, they can be adjusted easily by
heating the 2 joints one at a time and maneuvering the socket into place.
