Hi, i bought the QTR-8RC and just realized that there’s a missing component. It probably fell off while screwing the thing as it’s very near the mounting holes. Im afraid i haven’t been as carefull as i should have been…
The following pic shows the component im talking about:

Could someone be so kind to tell me what part this is ??? I think it’s a capacitor, but i can’t tell if it is the 0.1uF or the 1uF (i did’nt understand very well the schematics provided by pololu)
Any help would be very much apreciated

PD: Sry if i made mistakes writing this, english is not my native language

Hello, Piachnp.

Your English is fine. I am sorry to hear a part fell off your QTR-8RC array. That part is a 1.0µF 0603 capacitor. You can probably find some of these at a local hobby store or electronics parts supplier. However, if you have trouble sourcing a replacement locally, we can add a couple of caps to your next order. Just email us once you have placed an order and link to this forum post.
