High Power Switch Module

Description

What it is

The FET PWM switch control board is an electronic module that allows managing high currents through a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal sent from a microcontroller like Arduino.

Features

• PWM Control
• High Power FET Switch
• Compatible with Arduino
• SKU: ARD0011460
• Price: 2.47 €

What it is for

This board is ideal for controlling high-power electronic switches used in applications such as lighting, electric motors, and servomechanisms. It can be used to create a PWM controllable lighting system by connecting a button to the FET control pin and adjusting the brightness through the PWM signal sent from Arduino.

Tutorial: How to Use the FET PWM Control Board

This board is ideal for controlling high-power electronic switches, used in applications such as lighting, electric motors, and servomechanisms. Suitable for both beginners and intermediate users.

What you need

• Arduino
• Power supply cable
• 1kΩ resistor
• Serial interface (PC or FTDI module)

Steps

1. 1. Connect the power supply to the FET PWM.
2. 2. Connect the Arduino to the FET PWM with the following cables:
3. – VCC to the VCC of the FET
4. – GND to the GND of the FET
5. – D2 to the control pin of the FET
6. 3. Set a 1kΩ resistor between the control pin and GND for protection.
7. 4. Load the code onto the Arduino.
8. 5. Check the PWM regulation through the serial interface.
9. 6. Adjust the FET power supply voltage to match your project specifications.
10. 7. Try controlling the switch with a button.
11. 8. Check the datasheet for further details.

Mini project

Create a PWM lighting system controllable by a button. In 30 minutes, connect a button to D2 of Arduino, to the control pin of the FET, and control the brightness.

Common mistakes

• Do not verify proper power supply before use.
• Do not use a protection resistor.
• Connect the control pin directly to VCC or GND without resistance.
• Omit verification on the datasheet.

Recommended accessories

• Button
• Variable resistor
• 12V power cable
• LED bulb
