Might cut down on noise at the same time Sorry Gordon, I missed your post You're right, an external cap will be the immediate Z the ADC sees. As this is a motor speed control, sampling frequency is pretty low, I imagine only a few per/sec will be fine Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
