I`m building the VCLFO, on the BOM for the capacitors there is one that is confusing to me. (1) C6 & C3 are described as 2n2, when I follow the link to Rapid, they say “no results”? is this capacitor a 2nF?

This confused me too at first, but it was with resistors (ie 4k7 = 4.7k)
Glad i wasnt the only one haha! GL on the build =)

Many thanks @willow2x, l’m sure that we are not alone. When you first start making modules you have to learn a lot in a short time, but it’s all fun.

Yeah, sometimes it’s so obvious it’s blinding.
A nice little video on all the common components, their common purpose, their common markings will probably be a great help to many new Kosmo builders.
Things like the core differences between the types of cap,
can you substitute A for B ( 16V for a 25V ) is an 1N4009 ok in place of an 1N4001… Do we need the FB’s? Are the FB’s or a 10R Resitor, Does it matter…
I think the whole video should be shot in “50’s Posh Sam” mode

Or this way ? 
Especially when it comes to which end of the soldering iron to hold, or basic precautions when snipping of component leads…

@twinturbo to add to this, I think with a year of kosmo modules coming out, it might be a good time to eval what common parts are needed. I think my post in the Cheap Components thread might need a refreshment.
