Hello, I'm going to controll four 12v motors with relays. Im using "Relay Shield for Arduino V2.1" that has four relays with photo-coupled circuits. I wonder if i should have an diode in reverse bias parallel with each motor to protect against the back EMF? Is this necessary when im using an relay…

Flyback and/or freewheeling diode
