My circuit is a 555 monostable.
the cap values are 10nf (.01uf) of pin 5 to earth.
the other cap is 100nf (.1uf) from pin 6 to earth.
I've been using those yellow caps cause they look preaty and are easy to read their values.I think they are the polyester type.
Am I using the right type to give my good timing.
The reason I ask is beause I once built the circuit below with polarised and unpolarised caps. I noticed that different types of caps made a difference. The leds would fade before they flipfloped with unpolarosed caps.
So I just want to use the right type caps for my 555 timer project.
Thanks.
