The fellow is tying to control his actuator with a mechanical relay.
This type of device: relay
If the device is motor based then I am suggesting to him that he control it with a H-brdige module like this:H-bridge module
Mostly in the context of DC motors in wheeled robots. But one person using some sort of actuator which I am unsure of its nature - solenoid type of thing with on/off functionality or DC motor based like an aileron. This person is using a relay to control the device - OK if it is solenoid like...
I am confused folks.
For the last 10 years, or whatever, I have been reading that you must include a free wheel diode across any inductive load, including DC motors, to suppress the inductive kick back voltage spike.
But now some one is insisting that you should use a capacitor with a DC...
Can any body tell me what I have done wrong with this circuit - I just cant see it.
I am trying to implement this circuit.
Here it is on my bread board. The transistor circuit is not connected atm. R1 = 100k as per above schematic. R2 is a 10k trimpot. C1 = 10nF
But I am getting a steady 5V...
Reading the datasheet for MCP10XXX digital potentiometer.
Datasheet
Refer to page 18.
I sort of get the structure of the data you are supposed to transmit to the POT. 3 x 16 bit integers.
The first 16 bit integer contains a max of 10 bits corresponding to the resistance you want to set the...
Is Vsup = Vcc - Vee?
In my case that would be about 16.8V since I am using 2 x 9V NiMH batteries in series with GND in the middle. Which output about 8.4V or so.

And another question re this....
Would 100nF and 10k be OK for that cap and resistor on pins 7 and 8?
