-===== What not to do ===== 
  
-Don't just put the tube into the vibrator and back it off one part-length. 
-It will result in a mess :) 
- 
-{{:​mdcpickandplace:​feederjam.jpg|}} ​ <---- BAD! 
- 
-===== Modifying the tube ===== 
- 
-Instead, you need to notch the end of the tube to hold the part in place. We plan to just reuse the same tube over by '​reloading it' from one end. 
-To demonstrate,​ we'll use a 8 SOIC tube. 
-

- 
-Take one chip out and lay it on top of the tube, then notch the top with a razor blade just before the tail of the chip 
- 
-{{:​mdcpickandplace:​cuttubenotching.jpg|}} 
- 
-Now put the chip away 
- 
-{{:​mdcpickandplace:​cuttubenotched.jpg|}} 
- 
-Using sharp diagonal cutters, cut at the TOP of the tube from the end to where the notch is. Repeat on the other side 
-

- 
-Bend the top flap up and cut it off so that any burr is on the top, not impeding the chip. 
-

- 
-When you're done there will be a channel that keeps the chip in place and doesnt let it vibrate off to the side but has space for the nozzle to pick up the chip! 
-

- 
-===== Install tube ===== 
- 
-Install the tube so that it goes OVER the foam-padded bar and UNDER the unpadded bar 
- 
-Place the tube so that the Phillips head screw is underneath the tube, this will help keep it in place. ​ 
- 
-Push the end of the tube all the way up to the metal stop plate.

- 
-===== Program in chip feeder ===== 
- 
-Here is how I programmed in an 8-soic using bottom vision: 
- 
-Use part #41 which is an 8SOP with bottom vision test 
- 
-{{:​mdcpickandplace:​chipfeeder8soic.png|}} 
- 
-Using the teaching camera, do your best to center the 8-soic part outline. The chips move a bit and we use bottom vision so this isn't critically important. Have the red dot indicate pin 1 - this will make it easy to program in the PCB parts orientation 
- 
-{{:​mdcpickandplace:​feederteach.png|}} 
- 
-When the chip is picked up it will do a 4-point bottom vision test
