2.0. Supported Microcontrollers
The PICPLC16 v6 development system comes with the PIC18F4520 microcontroller in DIP40 package. In case this microcontroller
doesn’t suit your needs, it is possible to replace it with another one. When choosing the appropriate replacement for the existing
microcontroller, the most important thing to pay attention to is the pinout.

Prior to plugging the microcontroller into the appropriate socket, make sure that the power supply is turned off. Figure 2-3 shows how to
correctly plug a microcontroller. Figure 1 shows an unoccupied DIP40 socket. Place one end of the microcontroller into the socket (Figure
2). Then put the microcontroller slowly down until all the pins thereof match the socket (Figure 3). Check again that everything is placed
correctly and press the microcontroller easily down until it is completely plugged into the socket (Figure 4).
