Thanks for the help guys. Yeah C1 is part of a temporary voltage boost. I have been using the electrolytic one with no probs, Just thought i could save some space with the tantalum type. Ive only ever used caps before for video filters so this was sough-ta new to me. Thanks for letting me pick...

Here is the circuit.

Hi all, I'm sought of new to this world of components and have a small question about caps. Ive been building a circuit that has 2 caps in it, 1 connecting pos to ground at the start of the circuit and 1 at the other end. I was recommended to use either a 330uf 25v cap or a 10uf cap...

OK so it was pretty early in the morning when i asked my questions, and hadn't bothered looking into diodes too much at 5am (AUS) So i have since learnt that diodes do have polarity, and that Australian electronic stores dont stock anything i need, ever, I will shop online from here on in...

Stevo, Im assuming that you didnt want to use the 7v power source in your pc for fear of feeding back to much power to the psu ( the difference between the 5 and 12v lines) Im making the same set up but with switches to control speeds Luke i had a few quick questions regarding diodes. 1. do...
