I am trying to turn on a Picaxe board and remain on until the program finishes executing. The problem is that with a single cell LIPO (4.2V fully charged), the output voltage of the transistor switch is 2.4V. I may be using the wrong transistors or trying to do the impossible.
I am planning to use an 8M2 or a 14M2 on a project to drive 8 UV LEDs. Considering using a 3.7V LIPO. What can I expect to happen when the voltage of the LIPO drops below 3V
I need help identifying the Picaxe version of these two chips.
One is surface mounted, the other is through hole.
Both have the following markings:
18F14K22
I am trying to drive a speaker with the output of a Picaxe. I would prefer to use 7.4V and would appreciate commens and/or suggestions regarding the attached schematic.
First, I want to thank you for all the input and recommendations.
To answer some of the questions.
The glow plugs are standard RC motor plugs. They glow without burning up with 1.2V to 1.7V and roughly 2A to 3 A
The reason for using PWM is to be able to supply with a high capacity 3S LiPo on...
When I try to insert an image on a new thread, things work until I click UPLOAD then nothing happens.
The same thing happens when I try to attach a file.
I am trying to drive two glow plugs from a model airplane engine. Using a two MOSFETs (IRFZ44N) attached to C.0 and C.2 on a Picaxe 14M2.
I connected the gate of the MOSFET to C.0 and added a 10K pull down resistor. The source connected to ground and the drain to one of the plugs terminals. the...
