Hey Electrical Engineers. I have noticed that the power coming off my bench power supply is really dirty. Where can I go to learn how to design a circuit to filter it and help clean it up?

@opsnlops And this pops up just as I'm going to bed. Lmao. Figures.

If this is still unsolved on Wednesday, please give me a shout.

(My first thought is a "bench power supply" ought to produce very clean power. If it doesn't, the power supply is faulty. But we have to determine what you mean by bench power supply. ;-)

Good night. :-)

@shuttersparks It's a cheap one I got off Amazon. :)

I'm seeing ripples of around 800-1000mv when it's hooked up to the stepper drivers.

@opsnlops 60 Hz ripple? Is it a regulated supply? Adjustable? Is it possible you're drawing current pulses outside of it's range?
