Terrarium Capacitor Polarities - Do they only matter on the film and electrolytic ones?

[callummalcolm]

Hi,

I'm building a guitar pedal using the Daisy Seed and Terrarium PCB. I'm new-ish to electronics having done lots of repairs on stuff but not much actually putting stuff together. To my understanding, if a capacitors polarity isn't on the schematic it doesn't matter? The schematic has noted by each capacitor a 1 and a 2, I'm assuming that's referring to the legs of each capacitor but the electrolytic one is the only one explicitly stated. I would just follow this but I'm having trouble following the circuit as I can't actually see where everything leads to in the PCB so I'm not sure what way to put them around.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Callum

Film caps don’t have polarities, just the electros and tantalums matter. You don’t see too many tantalums any more.
