Yeah, if you run some of the less intelligent
ones with two low a
load, the duty cycle on the switcher shrinks to near zero, which
means lots of sharp pulses up/down next to each other on an
inductor. The end result is not nice. The smarter systems will
just hold off for a period if they detect an insufficient load;
the even smarter ones will switch in a dummy load automatically.

Well my new caps came in tonight. They were kind of odd values so I had
to order them. I put them in, assembled it and success! DC light right on and after
getting the baud right, a prompt!
I didn't realize until your reply that my phone auto-corrected
"too low" to "two low". How embarrassing.
In any case, congrats! I'm really excited to see the whole beast
come together.
