    Fog light circuit with atmega328 microcontroller

    Hey All, I found out what was wrong. I had my Bench PS set to 3.2a, I then set it to 5a and my high beams are happy and working! So the circuit design is good. I am happy. Hope this helps someone out there.

    Fog light circuit with atmega328 microcontroller

    Hello All, "Ok, I have "two" physical fog lights for my Harley Davidson, the fog lights are 12v LED's they each have a low beam and a high beam, just like an incandescent "dual filament bulb" in a car. The high beams draw 1.6a "each a total of 3.2a. The low beam fog lights will "always be on"...

    Challenge - See if you can solve this simple circuit diagram

    Check out my schematic I drew with circuits lab web software. I used 2 relays and 2 led flashers and a DPST and SPDT switches The relay turns off pin 87a when the turn signal or hazard lights are on pin 87 is not used. I am happy Any ideas of what I could add to employ pin 87?

    Challenge - See if you can solve this simple circuit diagram

    Hello Bluejets, I loved the video link you sent, very nice. I think I did what you mention here "perhaps add some load resistance" I will upload my partial fix diagram now. I say partial fix because the led blinks slightly slower but the brightness is very good. What I did was I added a diode...

    Correct Arrangement? You mean you would not add any components?

    Challenge - See if you can solve this simple circuit diagram

    Ok I have this circuit diagram that I hooked up with 12 volt battery - 2 led's with dual terminals - low beam and high beam - high beam is 3.5 watt low beam is 1.2 watt - 1157 bayonet mount. I have 2 led flashers with battery terminal and load terminal I have a SPDT switch and a DPST switch...

    How to design a transistor circuit that controls low-power devices

    Look what I found on Amazon after looking at bertus post Quote "If you want to use a mosfet, have a look at the IRL520. That is a logic gate fet, with a 10 A switching capability. Or have a look at the logic gate version of the mentioned IRFZ44, the IRLZ44." I will try my circuit first...

    How to design a transistor circuit that controls low-power devices

    The reason I stated, "So the transistor you mention TIP31 is a Darlington transistor correct?" It is because I went on Amazon and looked up TIP31 Transistors and here is what I found in the description Bridgold 50pcs 10Types TIP Series Transistors Assortment Kit, Including TIP31 TIP32 TIP41...

    How to design a transistor circuit that controls low-power devices

    Thank you for your reply Yes, I went on another forum and was explained how a mosfet will do the job on a breadboard. I am going to try that I ordered over kill mosfets and Diodes as suggested by other forum. Amazon 5 PCS IRFZ44N IRFZ44NPBF N-Channel Field-Effect Power Transitor 55V 49A RoHS...

    How to design a transistor circuit that controls low-power devices

    Thank you for your reply. A little over my head in your explanation but I appreciate it. So if I were to hook up the circuit as shown in the video tutorial using my calculation can you tell me what you think will happen? cooked transistor or what? So the transistor you mention TIP31 is a...
