Hi all,
Resistor question for you. From Mike's veroboard layout viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4668&start=520#p103321, how would I go about getting resistors 2,8,12 and 15 to fit? They just seem to big to fit over 2 strips.
Also, in terms of caps, apart from the polarised caps, should I be able to get all the others as standard small ceramic caps?

If I've omitted any info you need to know, just give me a shout.

Cheers
Liam

Stand them up on there end, so one side of the resistor has it's body in contact with one hole and the other side you bend the lead round and down to the other hole, fairly simple.

You can use whatever you want for the unpolarized caps, ceramics, mylars etc. just make sure they're not too physically large or axial components (you want radial).
