This is a follow up post to one I have in The Programming section, but I decided to start a new post on a new subject. I will eventually provide a schematic (Im working on it right now)
But I have a few quick questions:
Simply put I believe motors and relays are locking up my microchip. Pretty sure it EMI or noise. I have a diode across the coils and I have Surge Absorbers across the on the relay/motors connections. Here the are ones I have:

I know a schematic would be great here (and I will have one in a short while) but when I pick the Surge Absorbers, should I go with one that is as close in value to my load. My load is motors on 120V? Or is Surge Absorbers not the answer in this situation?
Thanks in advance for any help here.
