I have a arduino pro micro
And its working yet but on the board there are two yellow or red or orange chips behind the micro port for me one of then is has been removed but it still working what are those two chips and is there any proboem that im using the biard with one of them??
i upload a photo of it
i have Arduino pro micro and i removed a chip i think name is 106
but it still works
what exactly this chip do and what will happen if i use with just one C106 chip on my board
They are capacitors - Perhaps it MAY cause an issue in the future, but it MAY just work.
Top one looks like a 10uF cap.
Who makes it? I don't see it listed as an Arduino product.
Looking at a Sparkfun Promicro, looks to be the same cap at both locations.
It's a capacitor. The code on it tells you the value is 10 uF (10 x 10^6 pF).
This is a decoupling capacitor for the power input from the USB cable. It makes the voltage level more stable. Without it, the voltage will have more fluctuations and you might find that the microcontroller is unreliable under certain circumstances.
The reference number for this part on the schematic is C6:

that is a tantalum capacitor
