Missing a part...

Post by ChadRT78 »

OK so one of the parts for my 9yr old's MintyBoost kit is missing. It is the cap located at C2 she has to fly home Tuesday morning and I was hoping to have her all done so she could take it home with her and show off her skills at soldering. Is there an acceptable replacement for this part as I cannot find a suitable replacement locally. Will a normal ceramic disc cap from RS work ok or do I need the little blobby one. She is heart broken over not being able to fully assemble the device. But all I have are a handful of electrolytic caps and I am not sure if they will work or not or what values could be used in place of what was supposed to be provided.

It's a 0.1uF ceramic cap. Any one you can get should work just fine.

I am also missing this cap. Highly annoying considering the price + shipping I paid.

I now have to drive an hour to get a replacement.

Not cool

we can replace any missing part, email support@adafruit and they'll mail you another!
(that said, they are quite small, so look around the packaging and parts, sometimes they are hidden :)
