    Need a bit of help with MOSFETS. Am a bit flustered.

    Well, I would prefer to be better safe than sorry, not to mention that I may possibly need even more than the 6v and 12v I have planned. I will try out the circuit with the MOSFETs that are mentioned above, first. Also, I believe a one-size-fits-all MOSFET would be useful here, to make it easier...

    Hence how I figured that it would not make much sense to do. XD I'm SLOWLY picking some knowledge up. I will get the hang of making circuits yet!

    Yeah, that I figured out, and the diagram appears to be correct despite the typo. It would be illogical to connect the drain to ground, I would believe. Thank you for your advice, anyway. If I had not caught that, it could have caused a bit of a mess.

    Ah! Thank you VERY much! Now, I am a heck of a lot more sure of what to get, and how to do this, thanks to you. Have a nice day/evening/night/limbo, wherever you are!

    Oh, and since this will be in parallel, do I connect the grounds of both the 6v and 12v circuits to the arduino?

    Thank you! Two things though: The pull down resistor would be the 10k Ohms as marked in the diagram, regardless of the MOSFET? And the diode to prevent the backlash (paraphrasing, I forget the technical term...) after the gate stops recieving current; does it need to be any specific specification?

    Hello, I am planning on building a small project which will require some hardware this time. I need a circuit that can control several different components (motors, solenoids, a power inverter...) via Arduino. Looking around, it appears MOSFETS would be ideal over relays, being that (I believe)...
