      You're welcome! Yeah nowadays everyone just slaps a microcontroller into everything, be it only for the sake of saying it's digital... But I find many times the joy comes from the simplest of things - the more minimalist I can design a circuit with standard components that still does everything it's supposed to do the better! Plus there's no software bugs and crashes :))

    Sehr schönes Video. Mir gefällt persönlich, dass du genu das mit zeigtst, was beim Basteln, des öfteren passiert. Es funktioniert nicht sofort. Fehlersuche ist angesagt. Gerade wenn man keine Professionelle Leiterplatte verwendet, kommt es einfach vor, dass man irgendwo eine Drahtbrücke vergisst, oder ähnliches.
    Meisstens ist der Fehler schnell gefunden und behoben, aber manchmal sucht man sich dumm und dämlich. Zum schluss fehlt einfach, irgendwo die Masse an einem Bauteil.
    So macht jeder seine eigenen Erfahrungen und lernt. 😉

    I used a s9014 instead of a 2n222 and p80nf55 in the place of an N-channel mosfet but when i hook up the power (12 volts from a PSU) , it draws so much current the the mosfet heats up and the pwm doesn't work. when I hook up a 9v battery and i put the output wires in my tongue and i crank the potentiometer, I can feel current but when i hook up an led or a motor, it doesnt seem to work. Help

      In the video my MOSFET got pretty hot at first as well, there were some connections I should've removed. Nine times out of ten when a breadboard circuit doesn't work, it's just a wiring mistake. Take it apart and put it back together from scratch, then it should work (unless you did the same mistake again). Just recently I tried putting together a high voltage programmer for AVR programming and it didn't work. Turns out I had just forgotten a jumper and after reassembling it everything worked fine.
      Your component choice should be okay. Also, there is a newer version of this circuit you might want to try:

    One reason for using the 555 is that it will 'always' work. MVs, apparently, maynot start. A fuse might be a good idea if the motor stalls.

    • @ChronicMechatronic
      @ChronicMechatronic  3 года назад +1

      Yeah, a fuse couldn't hurt... Though I've never seen an instance where the MV didn't start.

  • @kennmossman8701
    @kennmossman8701 3 года назад

    did you set a Rb resistor for the Darlington? Rb = (Vin - Vbe)/Ib where Ib = Ic/ hFE. It is important since it determines the saturation and so that the transistor acts as a switch

    • @ChronicMechatronic
      @ChronicMechatronic  3 года назад

      Since it's a MOSFET I didn't calculate anything 🤣 the 100k is just an arbitrary value, should even work without one entirely. Just the ratio between gate resistor & pulldown resistor should stay roughly the same. Worth noting is, that both values shouldn't be too small, or it will stop working, since it is essential to not disrupt the MV's operation, by lopsidedly draining lots of collector current.
      That's actually the only reason for using a MOSFET at all.

      I had tried using a transistor off camera, and it didn't work out. A few weeks ago I tried again for another project, and came to the conclusion that it probably is possible, but only by adding like 5 more transistors to form a schmitt trigger and other stuff to get enough amplification.
      For some reason the transistors just won't turn on and off properly if I just use a darlington configuration.

      The 4.7k resistor connects to the middle pin of the potentiometer (the wiper / output)
      I also developed a new and improved version of this circuit a while ago which I strongly recommend to build instead of the one shown in this video. It's very similar but gives better results:
