International Rectifiers IRLD024 Mosfet Switch
by BARRAGAN <http://barraganstudio.com>

A Mosfet is s special kind of transistor switch used to handle higher loads than the Wiring board can handle by itself. Logic-level MOSFETs can be connected directly to a Wiring I/O board output pin. In this example the Wiring board is blinking a 12V lamp by using an IRLD024 Mosfet connected to the digital Pin 0 Don't forget to tie together the Wiring GND and the Lamp 12V power supply GND.

int mosfetPin = 0;           // Mosfet Gate pin connected to the Wiring I/O board pin 0 
 
void setup() 
{ 
  pinMode(mosfetPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output 
} 
 
void loop() 
{ 
  digitalWrite(mosfetPin, HIGH);   // sets the Lamp on 
  delay(1000);                  // waits for a second 
  digitalWrite(mosfetPin, LOW);    // sets the Lamp off 
  delay(1000);
