Hello, I am looking at this mosfet:
**broken link removed**
http://www.radioshack.com/product.a...ame=CTLG_011_002_017_000&product_id=276-2072#
to run this gearhead motor:
http://www.futurebots.com/parts.htm
(scroll down about 1/2 way to you see this motor: #409A582)
..basicall it is a 12v 1.5amp (under load) motor.
And I want to try to power this motor via my AVR
Basically, when I read the datasheet, I got:
-the ground can be up to +-20v diff than the source (so I could have I could apply 1vDC to the Gate, and get 21vDC out of the drain).
-the max output of the drain is 60vDC
-3.0amps max output of the drain.
Am I right?
I picked the above mosfet because i can pick it up at radioshack.
I guess after I complete this easy task.. i would also want to be able to move the motor in forward/reverse and use the encoder.... but first things first (unless radio shack has the parts to do that also.. so I only have to make one trip )
thanks for any help!
