ok Ill do my best to describe it...
9v + to a 10ohm resistor to a led to Drain
Source is grounded to - on the 9v battery
In theory sending a 5 volt digital signal from my arduino to the Gate should turn the led on...
Nope nothing but if I touch the Gate to the +side of the battery the light comes on and stays on even after I remove the Gate. I pulled the gate low with a resistor to ground and corrected that. However the problem still remains Why cant I get the Digital signal from the Arduino to close the circuit???
The Mosfet I'm using is a N type IRF830 I pulled from an old power supply.
