at 255 - 7.4 volts
at 128 - 3.7 volts
I`m using a multimeter ( UT33D+)
yeah I thought so too but then it wouldnt have worked properly with the geared motor, which it does.
I did, same thing
Unless your DMM/multimeter has a setting for PWM, the voltage you read will always be wrong.
The voltage across the motor will always be less than the supply voltage unless the motor is stalled.
You should not run a 3.7V motor with a 7.4V supply
Try running it by arduino's 5v
I tried connecting an external 5v supply, at 255 it gives 0.84 volts
I tried connecting an external 5v supply, at 255 it gives 0.84 volts
Thats normal
See post #44
yes, but it`s really slow.
Maybe the motor is bad or you damaged it by connecting it to a high voltage
just tried another one, it works the same
Mosfet can also be bad check it
If you have more mosfets then check with them
And try to see wether Your arduino uno is damaged
try by running a simple code on your arduino
I tried the irf44zn and another uno. I`m so confused right now
I mean arduino in the first line
- I would like to Know your arduino model
arduino uno r3
Is it IRFZ44N OR IRF44N?
Does it run at the rated speed if you connect a 3.7V battery directly to the motor?
irfz44n
Same here!!
no, it`s really slow
