Thankyou bychon.
I found a packet of disk caps with a label that says 15pf and the caps are marked 15k.
Following that, the 22k may mean 22pf.
Assuming they are in fact 22pf, could I use them or should I get the 20pf the circuit diagram calls for?
Will the slightly higher value of 22pf throw the timing off?
Thankyou Mikebits. I will read it.
What do you think of my using the 22pf in place of the 20pf for now to get my microcontroller ticking?
will it change the timing of the 4mh crystal I am using?
Thanks again Mikebits.
I was just reading your suggested material.
I think they are 22pf too.
Will it alter the frequency? Do they even make a 20pf?
Oh, one last thing. Should I cut the leads to be as short as possible?
