Hacking Velux remote with a hat to enable voice control over a raspberry pi powered by Snips

After losing my day wondering why nothing worked anymore after the connector change an issue was detected. Having neat wires, soldered instead of jumpers demanded to much current for the remote to handle. It was working when connecting the remote with jumpers to the raspberry pi zero, but not when using it as a hat. After trying for hours alone, I asked my friend mpbs again for his advises and he told me to add a capacitor. I did it, but it wouldn't work... Trying again and again, with or without jumpers until, changing the pi zero for a new one and adding a capacitor! It works! Well, we had clearly 2 issues, the first one the pi was dead, prolly from touching the component between the usb ports yesterday, and having new proper wires was too demanding! I will redesign a new pcb and add the capacitor
