Before actually finishing the board, I had to get new capacitors because the ones I bought before did not have the right capacity. | Before actually finishing the board, I had to get new capacitors because the ones I bought before did not have the right capacity. | ||
I had to improvise a bit and the end result looks clunky, since the capacitors a quite big. They lie above the resistors R1 and R4 but because of the plastic at the bottom of the parts they do not interfere with the resistors. | I had to improvise a bit and the end result looks clunky, since the capacitors a quite big.

I soldered two on top of the resistors R2 and R3, that were already mounted on the board, so that they are connected in parallel to each other. By doing this I increased the blinking speed of the LEDs. | ||
