hello!
I'm having a bit of problem in controlling 2 dc motors of my battlebot. The motor controller I'm using is the sabertooth, the bot is controlled by an RC remote. The problem is sometimes the motors behave wildly and doesnt respond to the controller for a few seconds. I read that one of the methods to reduce the noise to wire a single capacitor between the motor terminals. How do i select the capacitor value?
Is there any other methods?
usually a small
orange ceramic capacitor with the number 104 written on it, wich is 100000 Pf most RC car toys have 2, or even three of these.
its a very common capacitor, no point on buying it really, most old radios, pretty much everything has this…
could it also be the range of the RC system, or something is interfeering with it?
I found this article helpful…
On bypass cap/filter caps… perhaps it will help you as well:

Essentially the ‘uF’ addresses the frequency of the noise, while the voltage rating is the overall size of current flowing through the circuit.
