Thank you. I've been soldering circuit boards to use the parts for almost 8 years now (cheaper than buying new ones from radio shack). But i always seemed to think that those really tiny parts we're too small to use so i overlooked them and often threw them out. But i recently was flipping through a magazine i found at work for hobby electronics and i saw a SMT kit. So i researched it a little and found out that resistors and capacitors look the same. But thanks a lot for your help, I'm looking at a small circuit board i had lying around and i can see that only the black ones are labeled for resistance. And sitting right in the middle of the thing is a PIC16C56A
. I've also been looking for websites that sell SMT parts, the best so far is
www.goldmine-elec.com . they have tons of SMT stuff including LED's.
