STUPID question!! (ARgh?!2#?!23)

Hi-

I made a booboo. I soldered the IC sockets on the wrong direction on the DOUT resistor networks. Is it absolutely necessary to have the socket going the proper direction for the resistor networks?

Thanks

No worries, the notch is only there to tell you which way to insert the chip, and in this case the resistor networks you are using are not polarized anyway, so flip the resistor networks also and force two wrongs to make a right.  :)

You're my hero.

Thank you for the info AND for such a fast reply!

... and after about 12 month you're spending an hour to find out what the f..k is wrong on this board... do I have to insert the IC this way or the other  ;D

I would take the time to desolder the socket again... not that much work, is it?

That is a very good point.

It's obvious I'm still a total n00b. lol.
