MOSFETs and Transistors with Arduino

Hello

Videos/tutorials in this channel are a great learning tool, easy to understand.

Is an IRF520N module suitable for up-volt a serial 9600 tx signal?

(up volt to 12Volts, required for Arduino automotive scanning tool project)

If not any better options?

Hi @fedehe,

   Sorry, I am not clear which particular circuit/project you are referring to ... perhaps it would help if you started a new project thread and provided an explicit reference to what you like to achieve.

It is not clear if you are referring to the 'traditional' RS232 communication standard, which uses voltages of about 3V to 25V and -3V to -25V to represent the logical states 0 and 1. Conversion from an Arduino serial tx (and rx) pin  to RS232 voltages is most easily done using a specialised device.

For an example and further information of such a converter, see https://www.sparkfun.com/products/449 , including the document links on the page.

Best wishes, Dave

@davee Thanks for your reply I will check the link and specific hardware solutions.

Project works with Uno's standard tx & rx pins sending exadecimal bytes. Tx doing great oscilloscope already but 5V.
