 		 #174457 - read the material...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy, I read the material you sent, but frankly... I have not understood much.. better... near to nothing!

My idea is to drive RGB LEDs up to 10A per channel, around 100hz refresh rate.

I have seen a project that does like I want to do, the person is selling it already mounted and dont shows the circuit and componets used, but says it is 10A, please look the image below, I believe he is using a MOSFET here, as I can see there is no much between the "MOSFET" and his microcontrolller, maybe only the resistor!



What happens if I do like him? Only a resistor between microcontroller and MOSFET?
Maybe a pull-up after the resistor?

Thanks, and sorry for the dumbness :(
