Hi all,
what capacitor should I use for powering motor nema17 through pololu A4998 ? I have found just information about 100uf but there are other atributes about voltage. I have 24V power supply.
What capacitor can I use ?

100uF/35V would be suitable. Bigger capacity wouldn't hurt.

Use a 100uF 35V aluminium electrolytic. Keep the wiring between the capacitor and the driver module as short as you can reasonably make it.

Thank you for reply,
so I could solder it on stepper directly ? It would be the shortest way ?
