Electronic Basics #23: Transistor (MOSFET) as a Switch
Why people recommend it
An Electronic Basics episode on using a MOSFET as a switch, offered as an introduction to driving higher-voltage loads from a microcontroller pin.
Watch for: Introductory; check gate drive voltage against the MOSFET datasheet
In their words
In order to build a circuit it is good to understand transistor (or MOSFET) basics, this GreatScott video can be a good start and can be used as instructions.
