I am confused please. How are you driving the MOSFET through the gate and source. I thought it is only the gate that should receive the pwm signal.
"A monument to my mechanical ineptitude" 🙂
dude seriously get another piece of wood
Thanks to this video, half of the beginner electronics hobbyists think a buck-converter involves a piece of wood, a drill, an arduino nano, …
Wow. I am amazed this appeared to work the first time!!!! Great job as always Mr Llett!!
Very sly the way you substituted that mechanical switch with a mosfet at the last minute! Great video.
the way you explain it is amazing! btw what happen to the switch you shown earlier?
No evidence here about buck converting. You feed 12V lamp from 12V source.
Thank you
You need some sharper drill bits haha!
You should have just used a punch and knocked out that one
So what are the limits like of you wanted something big like 20+ amps obviously wire gauge and a mosfet that is big enough and heat sink but would you need a real big inductor
Butt converter.
That PWM circuit is massive overkill. Use a 555 instead
Always tin your iron tip with solder to prevent oxidation. Oxidation impedes thermal transfer from the tip to the joint. Wedge tips are better for general use because there's more surface contact with the joint. More surface contact means more thermal transfer.
