Looking for confirmation on the C7 and C8 caps for the TREAD. I'm pretty sure I have them swapped on the board.
Anyway, I'm not used to seeing the 3 digit values on the caps. The small tantalum caps is 105 - is this 1 uF (or 1000000pF)? The other is 106 and again just looking for confirmation that this is 10uF (10000000pF). If the above is true, is C7 the 106 and C8 the 105?
Thank You.

Is one of them about ten times larger in physical size then the other?

Yes and yes again.

Yeh, I was just thrown off due to the smaller PCB area (circle) for C7 and the schematic for the TREAD has a larger (but different size) cap for C8.

I hear ya, that one makes me double check those caps every time as well.

Sorry for the confusion. It comes from the fact that the board was originally designed with C8 being an electrolytic, and C7 a tantalum. You can still do it that way, I just decided to go for the higher-end option for my kits.

Thanks for the higher end
The TREAD is working beautifully with the Pimeta as we speak
