Grove - MOSFET
Introduction
Grove – MOSFET enables you to control higher voltage project, say 15VDC, with low voltage, say 5V, on microcontroller. MOSFET is also a kind of switch, but its switching frequency can reach up to 5MHz, much faster than normal mechanical relay. There are two screw terminals on the board. One for outer power source and the other for device you want to control. Grove – MOSFET will pass the power from one end to another when closed. But if outer power source is absent, your device can still draw power from microcontroller via the Grove interface.
Specifications
- Working voltage: 5V
- Vin: 5 ~ 15V
- MOSFET Model: CJQ4435
Tip
More details about Grove modules please refer to Grove System
Platforms Supported
Arduino Wio BeagleBone Raspberry Pi LinkIt ONE 
Caution
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's hardware or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.

Hardware Overview
Vin: Accepts 5V ~ 15V power of which current is less than 2A.
Vout: Attach actuators here.
Demonstration
With Arduino
Here we demonstrate how to use Grove - MOSFET to control a motor. We provide power for it with external power source, but if your controlled device needs current smaller than 300mA, Seeeduino can totally support it and no extra power source needed.
// demo of Grove - MOSFET
// use pin 6 to control a motor
int motorPin = 6;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(38400);
pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.println("Grove - MOSFET Test Demo!");
}
void loop()
{
motorOnThenOffWithSpeed();
motorAcceleration();
}
void motorOnThenOffWithSpeed()
{
int onSpeed = 200; // a number between 0 (stopped) and 255 (full speed)
int onTime = 2500;
int offSpeed = 50; // a number between 0 (stopped) and 255 (full speed)
int offTime = 1000;
analogWrite(motorPin, onSpeed);
delay(onTime);
analogWrite(motorPin, offSpeed);
delay(offTime);
}
void motorAcceleration()
{
int delayTime = 50;
for(int i=0; i<256; i++)
{
analogWrite(motorPin, i);
delay(delayTime);
}
for(int i=255; i>=0; i--)
{
analogWrite(motorPin, i);
delay(delayTime);
}
}
With Raspberry Pi
1.You should have a raspberry pi and a grovepi or grovepi+.
2.You should have completed configuring the development enviroment, otherwise follow here.
3.Connection
- Plug the sensor to grovepi socket D6 by using a grove cable.
4.Navigate to the demos’ directory:
cd yourpath/GrovePi/Software/Python/
- To see the code
nano grove_mosfet.py # "Ctrl+x" to exit #
import time
import grovepi
# Connect the Grove MOSFET to analog port D6
# SIG,NC,VCC,GND
mosfet = 6
grovepi.pinMode(mosfet,"OUTPUT")
time.sleep(1)
while True:
try:
# Full speed
grovepi.analogWrite(mosfet,255)
print "full speed"
time.sleep(2)
# Half speed
grovepi.analogWrite(mosfet,128)
print "half speed"
time.sleep(2)
# Off
grovepi.analogWrite(mosfet,0)
print "off"
time.sleep(2)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
grovepi.analogWrite(mosfet,0)
break
except IOError:
print "Error"
5.Run the demo.
sudo python grove_mosfet.py

Help us make it better
Thank you for choosing Seeed. A couple of months ago we initiated a project to improve our documentation system. What you are looking at now is the first edition of the new documentation system. Comparing to the old one, here is the progresses that we made:
- Replaced the old documentation system with a new one that was developed from Mkdocs, a more widely used and cooler tool to develop documentation system.
- Integrated the documentation system with our official website, now you can go to Bazaar and other section like Forum and Community more conveniently.
- Reviewed and rewrote documents for hundreds of products for the system’s first edition, and will continue migrate documents from old wiki to the new one.
An easy-to-use instruction is as important as the product itself. We are expecting this new system will improve your experience when using Seeed’s products. However since this is the first edition, there are still many things need to improve, if you have any suggestions or findings, you are most welcome to submit the amended version as our contributor or give us suggestions in the survey below, Please don’t forget to leave your email address so that we can reply.
Happy hacking
