* Standards narrow-DIP footprint: 0.3” (7.62 mm) row spacing, 0.1” (2.54) pin spacing.
* Pinout standard logic CMOS compatible: power and GND are on pin 16 and 8, so you can also emulate some 16 pin CMOS ICs (4000 and 74HC series)!
**Additional Notes:**
* The uChip does not have an RGB LED.
* The on-board LED is amber, rather than green.
* The board's bootloader is BOSSA-compatible, but does not support UF2, so use a CircuitPython .bin file with BOSSA. See [this page](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/non-uf2-installation) for the general process of using BOSSA. A Windows .bat script that demonstrates exactly how to use the BOSSAC commandline tool with uChip to flash CircuitPython is available [here](https://github.com/mew-cx/circuitpython_stuff/tree/main/uChip); you may use it as a template and customize as needed.
