My AINX4 module just arrived, are there missing components?

[joost_db]

hey guys, i am just building a AINX4 module i bought from www.mikes-elektronikseite.de but both AINX4 kits he sent me have only 3 bypass caps included....do i only need 3 or is this a packaging mistake?  from this page http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_ain.html I would think that I need to hook up 4 of them...

any help is appreciated.  i emailed the company but no reply as of yet.

Don't worry mate just give Mike some time to reply. You say you emailed "the company" but Mike is another midiboxer like you and I, not just a cool electronics company. Rest assured he'll be in touch real soon :)

hehe ok...got a reply from mike and he says that it is not necessary to put the caps on the board and it will work without...hmmmm there must be a reason for them.

this is annoying, so i either build it without, go find them in some local electronics shop around here in amsterdam, or email mike to send me more caps.

As Mike told you, those caps are not necessary.

At first, they where not included with the first ucapps schematics,

but for some reason, they have been added later, but you board will work perfectly without them.

It's a matter of power integrity, there's a long post on this forum obout this, but i let you search for it.

(I know i should, but i dont use them neither)
