stupid question

Post by luke »

well, maybe not stupid, but inexperienced. does it matter which direction the capacitors are soldered in? i thought i remembered something about some capacitors being bidirectional and others not. how do you know? a lot of them seem to be unmarked. the only ones that i can see a marking on are the big yellow ones that have a line on one side.

i'm on my way. got the pic in, programmed, and the power hooked up, being regulated, and the oscillator is going at the right frequency. hopefully things will continue to go smoothly.

if they're marked (larger caps in general, tantalums, electrolytics) they're polar. small (1206 ceramics) are not.
