A MOSFET is a type of transistor we can use as a digital switch.The name stands for Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor.The first MOSFET was made in 1959 by Mohamed M. Atalla & Dawon Kahng.
- Easy to manufacture in volume
- Easy to change its size
- It is the basic building block of modern electronics
They are the most manufactured object worldwide: 1.3×10^22 of them have been made between 1960 and 2018 - Wikipedia

You can see the gate and body connections as the 2 sides of a capacitor.When an electric field is applied by charging the gate, the electro-chemistry of thechannel region will change and allow current to flow between the source and the drain.
editGrove – MOSFET enables you to control higher voltage project, say 15V DC, with low voltage, say 5V, on microcontroller. MOSFET is also a kind of switch, but its switching frequency can reach up to 5MHz, much faster than normal mechanical relay. There are two screw terminals on the board. One for outer power source and the other for device you want to control. Grove – MOSFET will pass the power from one end to another when closed. But if outer power source is absent, your device can still draw power from microcontroller via the Grove interface.

Caution
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's software or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.
Getting Started¶
Note
If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we firmly recommend you to see Getting Started with Arduino before the start.
Play With Arduino¶
Demonstration¶
Here we demonstrate how to use Grove - MOSFET to control a motor. We provide power for it with external power source, but if your controlled device needs current smaller than 300mA, Seeeduino can totally support it and no extra power source needed.、
Hardware¶
- Step 1. Prepare the below stuffs:
Seeeduino V4.2 | Base Shield | Grove - MOSFET |
---|---|---|
Get One Now | Get One Now | Get One Now |
- Step 2. Connect Grove - MOSFET to port D6 of Grove-Base Shield.
- Step 3. Plug Grove - Base Shield into Seeeduino.
- Step 4. Connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.
Note
If we don't have Grove Base Shield, We also can directly connect Grove_MOSFET to Seeeduino as below.
Seeeduino | Grove_MOSFET |
---|---|
5V | Red |
GND | Black |
Not Conencted | White |
D6 | Yellow |
Vin: Accepts 5V ~ 15V power of which current is less than 2A.
Vout: Attach actuators here.
Software¶
- Step 1. Copy the code into Arduino IDE and upload. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check how to upload code.
- Step 2. Observe the state of the motor
Play With Raspberry Pi¶
Hardware¶
- Step 1. Prepare the below stuffs:
Raspberry pi | GrovePi_Plus | Grove - MOSFET |
---|---|---|
Get One Now | Get One Now | Get One Now |
- Step 2. Plug the GrovePi_Plus into Raspberry.
- Step 3. Connect Grove-MOSFET ranger to D6 port of GrovePi_Plus.
- Step 4. Connect the Raspberry to PC through USB cable.
