On my RobotWars robot (that had DC motors running hundreds of amps) I fitted off-the-shelf bridge rectifier modules across the motors to dump excess voltage back into the batteries (the battery voltage made a good reference limit). Only really an option with DC motors and battery power, I suspect. This was actually mainly to protect the relays. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
