Hello peeps,
I have a problem getting a DIS to fire with a transistor and my lack of electrical knowledge has me bogged down so i was hoping for some help.
The DIS im using is powered by 12v battery and fires with a controlwire that takes 5v and about 14mA.
In getting this to work im using the BC547B transistor. The transistor works fine from the neduino, i check with a led and it powers on and off just fine. ive used this as a reference: http://www.danielsol...heets/BC547.pdf
At first i used the 5v of the netduino on the transistor but after that didnt worked i added an additional power supply at 5v but that didnt work either. When i put the 5v directly on the trigger of the DIS it works fine so everything works except for the firering with the transistor.
Plan B was to use the netduino relay shield and that works fine.
What am i doing wrong?
I also have a IRF520 MOSFET lying around, should i use that one?
ps. ive added a youtube video with the sparl:
