Again, before you start soldering these devices, offer one up to it's destination on the PCB.
Familiarise yourself with how the device should be orientated, also how the device's pins should sit
on the pads.
Now it's time to solder the first IC, IC1.
If you have a flux pen, the application of flux to the pads will help soldering the ICs. If you're going
to use one, apply some flux to the pads of both IC1 & IC2.
In a similar way to how you soldered the previous components, place a small blob of solder to one
of the outer pins of IC1.
