Before you plug the microcontroller card into the
socket, make sure that the
power supply is turned
off.
Images below show how to correctly plug the
microcontroller. First make sure that a half circular
cut in the microcontroller DIP packaging matches
the cut in the DIPI socket. Place both ends of the
microcontroller into the socket as shown on the first
image. Then put the microcontroller slowly down
until all the pins match the socket as shown on the
second image. Check again if everything is placed
correctly and press the microcontroller until it is
completely plugged into the socket as shown on the
third image. If done correctly all pins should be fully
inserted. Only now can you turn on the power supply.
How to properly place your microcontroller into the DIP socket?
Place both ends of
microcontroller on the
socket so the pins are
aligned correctly
With both fingers, evenly
distribute the force and
press the chip into the
socket.
Properly placed
microcontroller will have
equally leveled pins.
