I am trying to control a motor with variable speed using a16c84. I have pu rchased a IRF9530 p-channel MOSFET to control the motor. I am having problems ge tting the motor to switch on or off let alone have variable speed. I know that i will have to create PWM to variy the speed, but i would have thought that i s hould be able to switch the mosfet by logic 1 or 0. It is all connected as follows:
gate porta-0
source 5v drain to motor
Am i being a complete tit ?
