Hi!
As I'm a electronics beginner, I'm struggling to find out how to connect 3 coin vibrations motors (9mm, 3.5V/55mA) to my Arduino UNO.
I was told using MOSFET would be a good idea, another advice was using PWM. I started learning about that, but I'm stuck at drawing a simple sketch how the breadboard wiring looks like.
Could you please give me a simple sketch (using Fritzing)? That would be great!
THX. As far as I can see i the video above, they are using a PN2222 Transistor and NOT a MOSFET. Anyway, I would like to use 3 coin vibrations motors, I'm sure that will make the whole thing a bit trickier.

you should be able to use the Mosfet in place of the transistor without any problems with an Arduino, google the datasheet of your Mosfet and try to connect using some sample circuits.
in a general way, a MOSFET and tranistor work exactly the same.
the FET uses voltage input to determine the output.
the transistor uses current,
for your application, you would want to drive both on full and hard.
the FET will have less resistance and overall, will not get as hot, but that only really comes into play when you pass higher power through them.
for this, you can use what you have on-hand.

No, these motors do not take much current it makes things slightly easier if anything.
