Hello everyone,
I am trying to use a MOSFET module I bought off of Amazon to control a 12 V DC motor (car door actuator) with an arduino.
when I hook the motor directly up to the power supply, I get a nice snappy motion. However, when I wire everything together, the motor barely twitches when in the on position. It is worth noting that the MOSFET does get hot, which would imply that a lot of current is passing through. I do have a fly back diode installed as well, so I don’t think that is an issue. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
For some reason the site is is giving me errors when I try to upload pictures, but I will try again to upload photos later.
