Adding a Capacitor to the thru-hole capacitor slot

We have a spot on the PCB for soldering in an electrolytic capacitor. Based on your usage,

you may or may not need a capacitor. If you are driving a lot of servos from a power supply

that dips a lot when the servos move, n * 100uF where n is the number of servos is a

good place to start - eg 470uF or more for 5 servos. Since its so dependent on servo

current draw, the torque on each motor, and what power supply, there is no "one magic

capacitor value" we can suggest which is why we don't include a capacitor in the kit.

power supply and the Servo power supply completely seperate!
