The IntergratorX is a dual purpose card designed to be used with a cardless receiver equipped with the 102 chip. The card has two modes: chip mode and passive programmer interface mode. Chip mode is set by moving the jumper onto pins 1 and 2. Passive programmer interface mode is set by moving the jumper onto pins 2 and 3.
To place the 102 chip in the IntegratorX card follow these steps:
1, Insert the chip into the socket. IMPORTANT: Make sure the chip is oriented properly – the text on the chip surface shoud be oriented as the text in the white box (123 ABC) to the right of the socket.

2, Turn the IntegratorX over and solder the chip onto the IntegratorX by using a soldering iron on the 5 solder points with the white circles around them.

IMPORTANT: As you are soldering each point press the chip against the InegratorX with your finger. You will notice that each of the soldering points is pre-filled with solder and that the solder sticks out of the hole like a small mound. The goal is to heat the solder just enough so that it will melt and sag into the hole, not more. We originally had designed the board with a small metal arm holding the chip into the socket, but I think you will be better served by using your finger for two reasons. One you can press the chip against the board much better and much more evenly with your finger than with the metal arm. Two by using your finger, you will not burn the chip accidently; since every soldering gun is different it is hard for me to tell you how long the hold it to each of the five soldering points, so hold it long enough for the solder to sag or until the chip becomes too hot for your finger ( don’t get burned ). Let the chip (and your finger) cool between each soldering point. Then press and solder the next one and so on.
3, Move the jumper onto pins 1 and 2.
To use the IntegratorX in passive interface mode:
1. Mod your receiver according to the instructions for your particular model (read the forums).
2. Solder wires between the modded receiver and the IntegratorX – NOTE that the traces leading to the pins are marked appropriately (VCC, RST, IO, GND, CLK) and also note that you can solder your wires to the pins or to the holes in front of the pins.
3. Move the jumper onto pins 1 and 3.
