When all u have are smd caps... XD
@sequentialsnep when the electronics are holding hands
@sequentialsnep looks good. As long as it works. Not sure I could solder a wire to an smd component. πŸ€”
@skyfire747 It was a bit annoying for sure! And the cap stuck to the soldering iron and I was concerned it would be damaged by the heat XD

@sequentialsnep If it works, it's not stupid!

@sequentialsnep Funnily when zooming in it looks almost as if that cap has magic smoke escaping :p

@sequentialsnep One makes do where one can!

In a non-condescending way: I wonder how much extra capacitance the wires themselves add. Most of these caps are like 20% tolerance, so I'm certain it absolutely doesn't matter. I am curious from a purely technical level, however. I'm not sure one could even measure it with normal bench tools.

@MuseumJoe I tried measuring with my bm867 and not getting any difference (discharged the cap with a resistor between readings). Probably need proper equipment for that!
