Re: [N8VEM-S100:122] call for ECB SBC V2 information

[Douglas Goodall <douglas...@mac.com>]

@Jack,

Battery BT1. there is no info on voltage ?

In regards to the SBC V2, C24 - C28 appear to be electrolytic, but I
cannot find (on the wiki or the schematic) any specs ie. Voltage...

Capacitor C1 is listed as C1V5, can I assume this means electrolytic 5v?
Capacitor C31 is listed as "22uF C1V5", does this mean electrolytic 5v also?

What is the nature of diode D2?

I guess resistors R3 through R8, and R10 are ghosts?

If I understood these mysteries, I could proceed onward with confidence.

Any help would be appreciated.

Douglas
