Hello everyone,
I have a setup that includes an arduino, a DC converter and a battery/ energy reservoir. I would like to switch off MOSFET controlling power from the DC converter to my arduino based on my algorithm and switch on the MOSFET that allows the system to be powered by a battery. However, my fear is that when the DC converter MOSFET goes off, the arduino cannot turn on the battery MOSFET. Please is there a better way to achieve this automatic switching as I am currently a newbie. Since i am trying to save power, i do not want to use a relay. I have attached a glimpse of my setup.
Sincerely,
Idris
