Deviations from part list on components included in kit.

[Jon Langseth]

I realize I should have included a note in kits where I have deviated from the parts list on values of components actually in the kit. I'll try to describe an "errata" of sorts here.

* 15uF instead of 1uF. Some kits has a set of four 15uF capacitors, where the list calls for 1uF for C4, C5, C6, and C7. Those are replacements for the Max232 charge pump, and are tested and verified as a working value (I simply ran out of 1uF ones ^^).

* 68nF instead of 100nF. Some kits has a set of 15pcs 68nF decoupling capacitors, where the list calls for 100nF. As decoupling capacitors, the precise value of these are of no consequence, and the lower valued capacitors have a lower ESR, compensating for their lower capacitance (same reason of replacement as above, also tested OK).

* 220Ohm resistors instead of 330Ohms. Some kits have LEDs that require a lower series resistance, and for those kits, the 330Ohm resistors have been replaced with 220Ohm ones.

I will try to use this thread for any other "alterations" that occur with future kits :)
