I am trying to drive a MOSFET using ESP-01 to control 12V supply. I am programming the ESP-01 using the nodeMCU and then using the ESP-01 module connected to a 5V power supply (no arduino is connected) tp drive the MOSFET and control the 12V.

Link to PDF Schematic (more readable) - https://easyupload.io/xhfeaw

Schematic is : enter image description here

Here is my simple code -

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

#define MOSFET 2     //GPIO2
#define SWITCH 0     //GPIO0


void setup() {
 
  pinMode(SWITCH, INPUT);     // Initialize the GPIO0 pin as an input
  pinMode(MOSFET, OUTPUT);    // Initialize the GPIO2 pin as an output
  digitalWrite(MOSFET, HIGH);
}

void loop() {

  digitalWrite(MOSFET,HIGH);
 
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

    \$\begingroup\$ The MOSFET driving part looks OK to me. Remember that the NPN makes an inverter so making GPIO2 HIGH will turn the MOSFET (and your load) off. What is your load? Are you planning to drive inductive loads? One tip: your schematic would be more readable if you put in a proper NPN symbol. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thank you, I was driving it high that was the issue. Thanks for the tip as well, I will keep that in mind. Thank you for solving my problem, very grateful! :)) \$\endgroup\$
