Hello all,
So I've made a circuit that actuates a solenoid using a relay. The relay is getting a 5V signal from a microcontroller. I've been advised to add some capacitors to filter out any noise for the signal on the relay. Does anyone have any input on what I should be looking for in terms of capacitance and how I should add the capacitor in the circuit (in series with the signal, or in parallel across the relay?)
Attached is a drawing of the circuit.
