Jan,
On ribon cable the lead that has the marking is simply there to make it easier
to tell what lead is what on the other end. The marked lead usually denotes pin
one, but not always. Remember that the drawing is show from a bottom view. Pin
9 is + and Pin 1 is -.
The Cap that is added in is necissary because of the huge surge that occures
when the unit sends out its ping. If you don't add the Cap your board will
reset at Ping because of the power loss... all the power will be sucked up by
the sonar for a split second. The Cap stores extra power and releases it to the
sonar when ping occures thus the supply power to your board is not over taxed.
Does that make sense?? Yes, you Need the cap unless you want to supply a
seperate power source to the sonar.
