    What N-Mosfet to control a small DC motor

    I came in here knowing nothing about code and so far I'd say you all are more concerned with my posts being in a certain format than helping me with my issue. I guess this forum is the wrong place to ask for help. I'll look elsewhere and sorry I wasted your time.

    What N-Mosfet to control a small DC motor

    Sorry, New to the forum. Not sure how to do this. */ // constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers: const int PushButton = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin const int MOTORPin = 9; // MOTOR connected to digital pin 9 // variables will change: int buttonState = 0; //...

    What N-Mosfet to control a small DC motor

    Thanks for all of your replies. The IRLB8721 did not work, but it may have been an issue on my part. What did work was this. So part of the code is working, but the part that controls the button is not. The plan was to check the status of a momentary button (pin2), and if it is low (or high)...

    What N-Mosfet to control a small DC motor

    That is exactly how I planned on doing it. I have chosen this mosfet (IRLB8721), and if this will do what I am looking for, then perfect. If not, please let me know. Thanks.

    What N-Mosfet to control a small DC motor

    Hi, I am completely in the dark on this. What N-Mosfet (logic level?) would I use to control this motor through an arduino nano using a simple fade in fade out LED type circuit to control the mosfet. Thanks, If you need additional info, I will try to supply it.
