Update web page on Radio decoupling capacitor
-
I noticed the web page on connecting the radio does not match the troubleshooting section. Connecting a Decoupling-Capacitor on the Radio page says 4.7µF but the troubleshooting page says 47µF. Seems a bit confusing.

Couldt find it - was it in the troubleshooting forum post? (http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/666/debug-faq-and-how-ask-for-help)

No, it is on http://www.mysensors.org/build/debug

Wich one is the right?
4.7µF or 47µF ?
And what voltage should it be for?

@miro it doesn't make much difference which you use. I use 4.7uF. Some users combine one large and one small capacitor, for example 4.7uF and 470uF. The smaller is better at eavening out quick fluctuations while the larger can handle more powerful fluctuations.
The capacitor needs to handle the same voltage as the power source. The ones I have are specified for 50V but as low as 6V should work.
