The wiring diagram on the freetronics website has thrown me (I'm not well up in such matters).
The S connection is from the -(ve) from the 12V battery supply, the G connector to the arduino board but the D connection should come from the negative side of the load? What would that be and then where does the +(ve) wire from the battery go??
Sorry for my confused state..  |
You're pretty much on the money. S connection OK, G connection OK, and the D connection is also OK as you connect it to the negative end of the load. Then all you do is connect the positive side of the load to the positive (+) battery. So it's like the load is in series between positive and the mosfet.
