they are two capacitors, added in v1.1 to give it better robustness

i havent had time to finish updating the instructions to include them. but if you look on the PCB you can see they go in C1 and C2. you can leave them out now and put them in once i finish upating the site :)

Great, I'll keep checking back.

Thanks for the clear directions by the way. I've never soldered a single thing before this and I was able to very quickly complete three fully functioning POVs with your guide with no errors.

Animating well. Yes, I set the rotation to 128 and put two magnets on the seatstay as a test. This is only a test. Return to your homes.
