I have seen some videos about using Arduino PWM to generate a radio carrier wave of Mhz range, to communicate over long distances. But couldn't find a proper video explaining all the working. Can you look more into it? 😃
Hi captainboing :-) The inductor of 2.2mHenry limits the current. -The transistor is switched at 31kHz, 70% PWM, so it is on for about 23microseconds. -The current in the inductor will increase slowly as in this formula: Ipeak = V x t / L = 5 x 23us / 2.2mH, that is 52mA peak!. Just imagine is as follows: a capacitor "stores voltage", an inductor "stores current". You use current to charge a capacitor, so if current flows into a capacitor it will charge and its voltage increases, like a battery or a bucket of water. You use voltage to charge an inductor, so if you apply a voltage on an inductor, it will "charge" and its current increases. The best analogy for me is a flywheel. You can check my video about the 5 to12V boost for more information: ua-cam.com/video/7yq-w5mIz_8/v-deo.html
@@smartpowerelectronics8779 got it, thanks. So the on time and frequency into the inductor create an effective "high impedance" path because the current doesn't flow out of the inductor terribly quickly while it is building its magnetic field, (so we try to keep it in the peak "building phase") and that limits the short. Using inductors has always been a black-art to me, beyond transformers etc.
That would work, make sure you: -Select a small MOSFET that can handle 100V Vds (the popular BS170 is 60V only...) -Add a high value resistor(10k, 100k) from gate to source to make sure it is off until the Arduino starts up. -You can remove the 2k2 base resistor. -Make sure the MOSFET threshold voltage (Vth) is ok for 5 V drive (normally ok for a 100-200Vds MOSFET type)
아주 좋네요.
잘보고갑니다.
Great video.Very important circuit especially electronic test and repair
Thanks a lot
You are welcome! I enjoy many tutorials online, happy to know I can help! Did you use it for hobby?
@smartpowerelectronics8779 well, i am enthusiastic to know about IC's external circuits and how they work and what are they for.
Thank you
Great tutorial
Glad to hear!
Thanks for useful video sharing
thank you!
very interessting
😉 thank U
This is neat!
Thank you!

👍
Thanks 🙂
Can somebody explain why the transistor doesn't short the 5V to GND?

What about using a MOSFET instead ?
That would work, make sure you:
-Select a small MOSFET that can handle 100V Vds (the popular BS170 is 60V only...)
-Add a high value resistor(10k, 100k) from gate to source to make sure it is off until the Arduino starts up.
