 +      * These along with the crystal make up the timing circuit for the microcontroller.
     * .1 uF (3) - two in the top left corner, one just above the microcontroller. The one in the lower left corner can be ignored unless you want to add a 2.1mm power input and 7805 voltage regulator.     * .1 uF (3) - two in the top left corner, one just above the microcontroller.
