Step 13Insert the chips
A fresh, brand new chip usually do not fit into a socket right away. You will have to press it sideways down on a table, to bend all the legs in an angle so it will fit. (Legs go down, into the sockets :).
Make sure all the legs are in the sockets.
If you bought the Servo upgrade from Picaxe, you have a yellow chip. Put it in place of the Darlington.
Note that not all holes in the project board are filled out with the yellow chip. We only need the eight to the right in the picture, as this is just simple resistors, we do not need to feed them extra.
This yellow chip is actually just 8 * 330 Ohm's resistors in a neat package. And so, if you should have a resistor, you can just insert it instead in slot numbered “0” (see picture for this ugly little hack), as this is the only one we will use, when we only use one servo.
Also insert the large chip, the brains, the microcontroller, the Picaxe 28(version number) into the project board.
Important to turn this the right way. Note that there is a little mark in one end, and so on the board. These must go together.
This chip will get power from the board via 2 of it´s legs.
All the remaining 26 legs are connected around on the board, and they will be programmable for you, so you can send current in and out to detect things and control things with the programs you upload into this microcontroller. (cool!)
