The last job is to insert the ATmega328 microcontroller into the chip carrier socket you soldered
earlier. The microcontroller is polarity sensitive. Find the end that has the notch and line this up
with the notch on the microcontroller.
Place the microcontroller gently into the socket. Ensure that the pins are lined up with those of the
socket and apply rm but even pressure to seat the microcontroller in the socket. Not applying even
pressure can cause the pins to bend out of shape and damage the microcontroller.
Your board is now complete, and you can begin prototyping.
