Piccolo kit and included capacitors
« on: 7 Jun 2007, 02:11 pm »
I have a Piccolo kit and was wondering why there were some capacitors included with the kit.

Looking at the assembled board, it looks like these go by the LED.

Are these on the parts list?

What is the location of these.

Got my package from digikey a few days ago and I'll probably throw it together this weekend.

Ah yes, this is not made clear in the manual.  Those caps go by the LED.  A little extra high frequency filtering in the power supply prior to the audio stages.  The only reason I did this is because the minimum order quantity is 10. You only need 2.  So I just threw them in for free, rather than having you buy so many.

Well, checked my package from DigiKey and it turns out to be a huge catalog!

Build for this weekend looking less likely, one item was on backorder until around June 7th and I opted for one shipment to save $$$.

Thought that package came quick (been sitting for a few days).

What is its DigiKey part number? Just for my reference.

Use the Digikey search filters to find an equivalent part or try Mouser and Allied,

June 7th,... that's why I call Digikey the "home of the backorder", altho' they've been better lately.
