Silverfish Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksNo 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. :)BestSmash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfish Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 That is a very good point.It's obvious I'm still a total n00b. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
