Question about DIY Mini Drone: Arduino™ Altitude Control activity

Post by hbenac »

Type your question below and then press Submit!
What kind of transistor do we need for this project?
I gather it says MOSFET and on the schematic it says FET N.
Thank you so much!

hbenac - I don't know which project this is but your description suggests you are looking for an 'N' channel Mosfet, a common transistor. Tell me more about the project and any description and perhaps I can be more helpful.

Hi - the basic parts to build the drone are available in this kit (not including the Arduino and other accessories): https://www.homesciencetools.com/produc ... t/?aff=SB1. If you want to purchase the parts individually then rmarz is correct that you need an N-channel MOSFET.
