* PWM is highly prone to noise : keep cables short, use 100nf capacitors, use shielded cable, use ferrites, stabilize voltage
As the speed/load increases, there can be a lot of noise in the PWM signal, triggering unwanted movements :
* Keep cables short, use shielded cable, use ferrites, stabilize voltage
* You can scratch the pcb and solder 100nf capacitors to ground, that will act as a RC filter and reduce the signal noise
