Generally, cost, accuracy, size, and drift. Ceramic caps are expensive ($/pf) reasonably stable across temperature and acceptably accurate. Electrolytic capacitors are cheap ($/pf) only moderately stable across temperature changes, polarized, and (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

hi everyone, i like to ask something on the PWM of the handboard. if i only do a command: motor(2,50); motor(3,50); i will get a smooth PWM of 500 Hz of waveform.( -_-_-_-_ something like this) but if i implement the above command into a program (...)

As long as we are talking about caps, I cannot find the information about why one uses tanatlum caps vs ceramic caps vs electrolytic. What are the differences between the various types? Thanks, Gary Livick (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Sorry to say, but the capacitance does change depending upon the applied voltage. As you increase the plate voltage a force is created pulling the plates together. This effectively INCREASES the capacitance. The good news is that this enhancement is (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I am planning on getting some LMD18200 motor driver chips from National Semiconductor and I found some info about which pins go to what by doing a search in the H-Board archive.

Capacitance is calculated using the area of the plates, the dielectric constant, and the distance between the plates. It does not have anything to do with the voltage. If a thicker dielectric is formed, it will reduce the capacitance. This is not (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
