Re: Pulses on breadboard supply lines



Idunno, put on more caps? LOL

Electrolytics with low ESR, like removed from switching supplies, might
help. Not that contact resistance helps that any, but that shouldn't matter
too much. (I've pulled 20A through them protoboard rails and it seems okay
with it!)
