Title: (yet another question form me!) $50 robot DIP Socket
Post by: TomDOW2 on April 21, 2010, 12:49:03 PM
I am from the UK, so I am using the UK parts list for the $50 robot. It recommends buying the 28pin DIP socket from Rapid Electronics. When I searched Rapid Electronics with the product code it told me that "the product that you are searching for has been discontinued". What should I use in-sted? Is any 28pin DIP socket suitable?

P.S Hopefully I will stop having these daily problems soon.

Hi m8
look at this e-bay item number 120364018662 I used those for my MCU. In case you decide to buy from somewere else just make sure it's 0.3 inch 28 pin socket
