Code Examples

### Example 1: Using the 8 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor with an Arduino Board

In this example, we'll connect an 8-pin DIP IC (such as the 74HC595 shift register) to an Arduino board using the 8 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor.

Hardware Requirements

Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
 8 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor
 74HC595 shift register (or any other 8-pin DIP IC)
 Breadboard
 Jumper wires

Software Requirements

Arduino IDE

Code
```c
const int latchPin = 2;  // Pin 2 on the Arduino Board
const int clockPin = 3;  // Pin 3 on the Arduino Board
const int dataPin = 4;  // Pin 4 on the Arduino Board

void setup() {
  pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Shift out data using the 74HC595
  digitalWrite(latchPin, LOW);
  shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, B10101010);
  digitalWrite(latchPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
}
```
In this example, the 74HC595 shift register is connected to the 8 Pin DIP IC Socket Base Adaptor, which is then connected to the Arduino Board. The code uses the `shiftOut()` function to send data to the shift register, which is then outputted to the pins of the adaptor.
