Hi, i'm having some issues powering my MOSFET over arduino. I've tried on both an unoriginal UNO, and an original NANO; same problem on both.
Components used:
MOSFET: IRLP3034PbF
Arduino NANO/UNO
Red 5mm LED (indicator whether MOSFET is open or closed)
220 mOhm and 10kOhm resistor
For some reason, when I try to power the MOSFET with my arduino, it doesn't recieve enough voltage from the arduino.
I measured the voltage over the Digital output and ground to be 1.11 volts. 10mA flows in total, 99% of it through the resistor.
With the resistor disconnected, the voltage is 5v, and the MOSFET opens completely.
When the MOSFET opens, it appears the arduino can't sustain voltage to the LED either, giving it only 1.7V at 11mA.
When only the LED (and 220Ohm resistor) is wired to the output, the LED lights up just fine.
Does anyone know what may cause this? I'm at a loss
