@gloriouscow Oof, you're not kidding. I missed it even in the illustration here clearly showing it...

[gloriouscow@oldbytes.space]

@adorfer

it is a scan from a manual

@gloriouscow [chuckles]

[tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org]

@gloriouscow

Oh its ok, that's why there's so many pins.

[mousey@mastodon.seattlematrix.org]

@gloriouscow I felt physical pain seeing this.

[gloriouscow@oldbytes.space]

@mousey

you're welcome

@gloriouscow I just know these things demand a blood sacrifice. Poking your finger, ideally under the finger nails or something.

@gloriouscow the pin that is fourth from the right, bent outwards: the socket does not have a hole for that pin
the chip installation was doomed to be incorrect

[commanderred@chaos.social]

@gloriouscow that hurts to look at

[loganer@mastodon.social]

@gloriouscow depends, if you want to alter the functionality of the chip this might be correct.

@gloriouscow so thats why my stuff won't work

[deltawye@tiggi.es]

@gloriouscow reminds me of the WOM (write-only memory) data sheet chart of “NUMBER OF INSERTIONS” versus “NUMBER OF INTACT PINS REMAINING”

[leckse@social.leckse.net]

@adorfer @gloriouscow I’m pretty sure you should.

The indent on the IC should align with on the DIP socket.

[orva@social.orva.fi]

@gloriouscow Nice illustration but it misses some important details. Mainly, which are the pins that should be bent for correct installation

[galactichero@mindly.social]

@gloriouscow I’ve been there. Oh yes, I’ve been there #DIP

[ciatmusings@raru.re]
