How to build an inverter using 2N7000

This is a quick summary of how to build an inverter using 2N7000.

The reasons to use this instead of 7404 are the followings:

1. It supports higher voltage (60V vs 5V of 7404);
2. It's single channel (there are 6 inverters in 7404) which makes it more cost effective for application where only 1~2 inverters are needed.

It could be turned on/off by Arduino / Raspberry Pi.

Below is the schematic.

How to select MOSFET for Arduino / Raspberry Pi projects

This is a quick summary of the info. on how to select MOSFET for Arduino / Raspberry Pi projects. MOSFET is a very useful device for controlling device that consumes current and/or voltage beyond the output current / voltage capacity of Arduino / Raspberry Pi. In addition, it's also very useful in applications that call for fast / frequent turn on / off of the connected device.
