Socketing makes it easier to reuse the MCU(the RP2040-Zero) for another build later, or swap it if its broken or malfunctions.

NB: The cheap sockets linked from the ordering guide happily accepts diode legs, while the more "expensive"
ones typically have larger holes, so for these you might wanna go with picking out the legs that came in the
yellow plastic with the mcu(they are thicker and sturdier than diode legs).

If you have sockets for the MCU, mount them on a breadboard, or stick them in some cardboard to get them straight when mounting.
