What are Bypass Caps on old Core V2

[Rednas]

Hello,

After almost two year break i wanted to continue with my MIOS project, and found an old V2 core. It is almost finished, but i'm missing the Bypass Caps. What are those? From the construction manual.

Add also the two additional Bypass Caps on the bottom side of the PCB as close to the power inputs of the PIC as possible. They improve the power integrity.

They improve the power integrity.

that s it.You can probably live without them and your core v2 as well.But if you have a chance get a pair of 100nF caps (unpolarized)

Yeah, they will likely have a "104" on them if you're looking to scavenge some off some old junk.

Thnx a lot. That clears everything. Caps stands for capacitors ofcourse. It seems my core dates from december 2004, before this discussion has started. I'll be sure to mount some in, when i find them. And some for the other modules too.
