Flyback Diode

Open mcordingley opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

M1 is an inductive load hooked up to transistor Q1 without any reverse voltage protection. It's possible that the motor is small enough that any voltage spikes it would create are small enough to not harm Q1, but this is neither documented or handled. Would you please either add a protection diode to the motor in the plans or document the lack of a need for a protective diode?
