MiniPOV chip orientation

Post by loopygeorge »

I am building a MiniPOV v3 and have completed up to the point of inserting the chip. I would like to get the orientation correct. My chip has a rather large circular spot on one end and a relatively small half circle on the other end. Which end should be oriented to the notch in the socket?
Thanks in advance.

the notch in the chip aligns with the notch in the socket which aligns with the notch on the silkscreen.

the big circle should be towards the db9 connector. the notch should be towards the sensor pads.
