I'm back with another stupid EE question!
I've been looking through the PCB schematics to try to better understand how things are connected in the HM. Looking at the V3 schematic, I have a couple questions:
In the power supply section (top right), C3 is a 0.1uF capacitor, but the connection coming off of the top of the schematic isn't connected to anything. Also, there is a break in the ground connection to the left of C3, I assume that should that just continue over to C3? I checked the V2 schematic to compare, and C3 isn't there at all. I'm guessing it's just a decoupling capacitor, so I'm assuming it should just be included in the circuit but only connected to power and ground, but I wanted to make sure, as I would expect a decoupling capacitor to be as close to the IC as possible, so maybe it's not that? (I don't really know what I'm talking about!!)
Assorted wisdom much appreciated.
