 | | Smoothing capacitors on motors?
|
|
I am using a couple of 6V motors and I have read that it is a good idea to put a capacitor across the terminals of each motor. Although I see references to this practice all over, no one has indicated what ratings this capacitor should have. Does (...) (29 years ago, 15-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Yes, I believe so. I was thinking of that last night but haven't had a chance to look it over. I think you would need to temporarally reconnect the cut with some form of voltage drop,(several diodes in series ?) when the charger is connected. (...)
