PiXtend V1.3 ARTC
Kit Assembly
2.1 Montage of the integrated circuits (ICs)
The integrated circuits (ICs) have to be mounted on the PiXtend- board. For an easy and
unproblematic mounting the pins should be bent before.
The “feet” are standing not exactly straight down, how you can see in Figure 4 (left). The
pastic housing and then getting pressed against a hard surface until the wanted angel is
reached. Like that all Pins of each IC are getting bent equally.
After bending the pins should have an angel of 90° to the plastic housing, how you can see
in Figure 4 (right).
When mounting the prepared ICs it is to care for the notch, same as at the montage of the
IC sockets.
The notch of the IC, IC socket and the printing on the board
have to match.
If the ICs are getting mounted wrong it can lead to malfunction
and defects!
