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
