How to use NPN transistor switch in Arduino?
The Basic transistor switching with arduino , for arduino Digital 7th Pin is Output if the arduino send logic 1 (HIGH), the mini cooling fan turns ON. If the transistor Base terminal is 0 (LOW), then Fan turns off , for delay and other you can set with help of arduino IDE and arduino uno. And one simple NPN transistor.
How to turn off NPN transistor in GPIO?
A simple check of the circuit with an ohm meter should be able to confirm how the LEDs are connected. The schematic is probably like this – inside the dotted box (ignoring the LEDs). The transistor is a PNP type so you need to apply close to +5 to get it to turn off. You can do this with one transistor and a couple 10K resistors, as shown.
Can a NPN transistor be used as a sink?
Yes. In an NPN transistor current flows from the collector, through the base into the emitter, i.e. it acts as a sink. In your circuit then, +5V from the Pi flows through the stepper motor controller, through the transistor, through to ground. The current only flows when the base is activated.

Do you need a 5V pin for Arduino?
For all I know, TTL levels are 0-5V, so if I want to communicate with it using my Arduino, I need to level down the 12V to match the 5V. The Arduino Mega provides a pin with an output of 5V, so I figured I could use it, add a diode and get about 5V which I can connect to RX. For now I only need to read the data. TX pin stays untouched.
How to read a 12V signal from an Arduino?
Assuming that “mark” and “space” polarities are the same for the 12 volt source’s output and the Arduino’s input, that the 12V signal comes from a voltage source which is stiff enough to source at least 1 mA and stay within a couple percent of 12V, and that the current into the Arduino’s I/O is << 1mA, this’ll work:
How does an Arduino work with a transistor?
Place the Arduino on the breadboard with the pins divided by the board gap Place the transistor in a free space on the breadboard away from the Arduino pin lines Place the 1 kΩ resistor between Arduino pin 3 to the base pin of the transistor (in this case it’s the left pin if looking at the transistor metallic side)
