Capacitors
Attach the two ceramic
capacitors as follows:
The first from the bottom
ground rail (blue) to pin 2 of
the IC chip.
The second from the top
ground rail (also blue) to pin
12 of the IC chip.
Take your two ceramic

Top Tip
There are two types of
capacitors. Those that do
care which way they are
plugged in, and those that
don’t. The easy way to tell
them apart is to check to see
if their legs are the same
length. If they are, then just
like the resistor, they can be
plugged in any way around.
If not: Then the long leg
always must be plugged
into the voltage ( + ) and the
short leg must be plugged
into the ground ( - ). This
kind of capacitor is called
electrolytic or polarized.
