I am building the ELM interface, and ordered all the parts required for all three types of communications protocol. I have not laid out the circuit board yet, but I have a question for anyone with good understanding of electronics.
The diagram calls for two .1uf 16v capacitors. The only ones I could find were tiny surface mount ones. They are about 1mm in length. I only ordered two, but now I run the risk of loading one or more only because they are so very very small... 1mm by 1/3mm is going to be a huge pain manipulate and solder. I think a bit of cello tape will help in manipulation... In the same order I ordered two through the hole capacitors (.1uf 25v) and they are a size that offers no threat of loss due to wind.
Can I use the .1uf 25v instead of .1uf 16v without damaging anything? Or should I stick to the specs.
