Dear all,
I'm a complete novice at electronics and need help selecting a
capacitor (I guess this is what I need).
I have a momentary switch that is wired to a controller board. The
controller has a resolution of one second, in that it scans it's
inputs once a second only. Sometimes when I push the button too fast,
the controller misses it and doesn't register the input.
I'm hoping there is a way to connect a capacitor into the switch
circuit so that it's held closed for longer than a second no matter
how fast I push the button, and therefore registering the input on the
controller without fail. I've measure 5VDC across the switching
connection, incase that information helps.
Can anyone share a solution for this problem I'm having? ...and
perhaps even suggest the right capacitor to use, if in fact a
capacitor will solve this?
Many thanks,
MrQuan
