Yes, thats it. Although if you use stranded wire (from the capacitor
to the Gecko), it is a real pain because one of those strands might
go astray and cause trouble.

So I suggest using 16 AWG solid copper wiring (as I do in my
power supply kit) as that allows for high current AND room for the
470uF capacitor leads to fit. I also suggest applying heatshrink
tubing to the upper end of the capacitor leads to prevent
electrical shorts (again, as I do with my Gecko Heatsink kits).
