I am trying to use a nrf24l01 module with my Arduino nano to build a receiver and transmitter for my plane. I used a 22uf capacitor to smooth out the voltage drops due to the servos. But it is not enough. So i thought about soldering another 10uf capacitor in series with the 22uf one. Would this help? Would it increase the uF rating of the capacitor? Thank you in advance!!
No. It would reduce it.
Put the 2 capacitors in parallel to increase the total capacitance
Do not use the Arduino as the power source.
Gil's Crispy Critter Rules, they apply to processor hardware:
Rule #1. A Power Supply the Arduino is NOT!
Rule #2. Never Connect Anything Inductive to an Arduino!
Rule #3 Don't connecting or disconnecting wires with power on.
LaryD's Corollarys
Coro #1 when first starting out, add a 220R resistor in series with both Input and Output pins.
Coro #2 buy a DMM (Digital Multi-meter) to measure voltages, currents and resistance.
Violating these rules tends to make crispy critters out of Arduinos.
