Hi
I know I must sprinkle liberal quantities of 100n caps around my picaxe chips
but what kind?
I never know what difference it makes if any, as to whether I use polyester, polypropylene, polystyrene , or even ceramic
Does it matter as long as its 100n ?
The reason I ask is like many people today I am taking advantage of the Rapid sale and they have 100n caps at 5.2p for polyester but only 3p for polypropylene . If polyprop will do I cant see the point in buying polyester which give me only half as many for the same price .
OK so I am a cheapskate . but now I am retired all the pennies count .
So why do we use ceramic or polyester or polyprop etc and when , if ever, will it be ok to use what ever is at hand ?
