Hello Guys,
I know this may sound easy and silly, but I'm a software guy. :) I'm having some problems trying to control (on/off) a DC motor (7.2 volts @ 10A continuos) with a PIC.
MOSFETs don't work with 5 volts on the Gate, right? I think that's my problem. I found this schematic on the Internet, will this work?

Is it possible to control the MOSFET directly from the PIC?
Thanks!
Daniel.
