Which assembling another ELLO LC1, I decided to push my luck and skip the six capacitors, normally needed for the operation of the LCD. It lives!! A second test - lives again! I am not observing any reduction in the quality of the displayed text.
Turns out, ELLO LC1 can operate with ONLY THREE COMPONENTS (plus battery, of course) - PIC18, LCD, and the reset button, which is important to turn the system on or off.
Just FYI to all who may want to assemble one of these :)

I would like to have a PCB like this too... Hope It is not too expensive with shipping costs... And they send It to Spain...

I *must* build one. Let us know if/when you have spare PCBs for sale (parts too if available)

Will release them on TIndie later this month. Sorry, can't offer parts, but (except the PIC) thy are easily accessible. See the project details for BOM
