Hi Rainer,

Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Why did you put the capacitor on the right hand side and extended it
with the yellow wire?
The wire might pick up a signal and cause other trouble.
There seems to be room to fit the extra capacitor on the left hand side,
between the two black IC's.

What form factor does the capacitor have? do you have a link to a
reseller of the capacitors?
I am thinking of doing something similar too.
Kind regards,

Ed
