The location(C7) for the .1uF that you are refering to is located on the
sonar driver board, on the lower left corner of the ribbon connector. Any
non-polarized cap will do just fine.

| Just wondering... in reference to the modification on the Polaroid 6500 sonar ranging board, there's been two different assertions. Should the 0.1uF cap be of a polarized (e.g. electrolytic, tant, etc.) or non-polarized variety (as stated below)?... (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
