Q.  How can I use an Arduino to control a 9V motor?

A.
There is a diagram on page 71 of the the "Getting Started" book
but no schematic so I made one:


Arduino                                                      IRF510 MOSFET

Digital Output --------------------------------------------- G
(eg #7)

+9V -----------+------ Motor ------+------------------------ D
               |                   |
               +------ |< ---------+
		     Diode

GND -------------------------------------------------------- S


I was not able to figure out how to control a device that had a high voltage.
ie one not supplied by the Arduino.  If you know, maybe you can leave a
comment.
What this info useful to you? You can donate to say thanks
