My daughter and I are building a little robotic arm and I want to check my math before we start ordering parts.
We are using a piece of flexinal (.11 ohms resistance per inch & 12 inches long, and requires 4amps per cycle to actuate with a cycle time of approximately 14 seconds) and want to use a capacitor to keep it constantly actuated.
I'm calculating that we need a 5400 microfarad capacitor at 5v. Does this sound right?
Thank you :)
