PostPosted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 8:32 am    Post subject: LED question for worthekik Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

For the layout of the APC by worthekik-

Am I correct in thinking that the LED (D1 on layout), the + is towards the top of the image, and the - is towards the bottom (along the lead that goes to the ground point)?

Just want to make sure.... I just have to solder the LED, output, and pots.

The longer LED wire goes toward R4 (+)

I'm trying to gather all the parts for one of these and on the layout on worthekik it says

c1 - 10nf

c2 - 100nf

etc...

I can not find capacitors that end with "nf"

I'm a n00b to this so I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

1uF = 1000nF, 1nF = 1000pF
(uF = micro Farad, nF = nano Farad, pF = pico Farad)

so 10nF would be either 0.01uF or 10.000pF
sometimes the F for Farad is left off...

printed on the capacitor itself would be a code for its capacitance like "103" for 10nF or "102" for 100n

ray has this great table with capacitor designations:
capacitor 101
