I got the TIP120 (actually, a similar one, according to the seller), and i was trying to mount it, but it didnt work. what am i doing wrong?
The transistor says:BOX33CCC096MAR 520.
Soeren, ive tried those changes, and it still doesnt work . is there any way you could tell me or show me the complete wiring?
So, the motor is spinning with current flowing from the transistor, which is a good thing, but the wire from the resistor (wihch i thought to be in the output pin of the arduino) makes no difference.
So, i have one end of the battery pack connected to the motor. the other end connected to the emitter.the other end of the motor connection is in the collector (this was the last thing i connected. if these two touch, the motor starts spinning, regardless of any other wires except the ones referred so far).The base is connected to resistor, which in turn leads to the pin (from where i hope to control the transistor).The emitter of the trans is also connected to the GND of the board.
Alright, so that got the motor spinning. btw, I still have the negative wire of the battery connected to emitter. hope that was not a mistake
How could the motor keep running without the white wire?
and again,if I remove all the white wiring, as long as resistance is between base an analog pin, it spins non stop (the emitter also connected to ground).
ITS WOOOOOORKING, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Dont know whats wrong with pin 7, but its always on, ive tested it with a LED.
Soeren, im very, very thankful for all your patience and help.
Tomorrow ill start looking into the other ideas, and chances are, ill be begging for your help again .
uh, just a thing, did you guys know this trans would work by experience, or did you look it up?
when I try another thing, with different tensions, my only hope is to ask experienced people? :O
