To keep Arduino Based projects running on a powerbank, you will need something to generate load every now and then to keep the powerbank powered on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can be achieved by connecting 2 resistors and 1 mosfet to you\u2019re Arduino based project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a little program, you can keep the powerbank on forever (at least for the time the battery is not drained)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
void setup() {
\/\/ put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(12, OUTPUT);
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n
void loop() {
\/\/ put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(12, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(12, LOW);
delay(5000);
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here some pictures of a real life situation (just for testing purposes) and it works great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the parts connected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the \u201cnormal load\u201d of the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this is the load generated by the resistors and the mosfet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used the following components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 resistor 66 ohm
1 resistor 1K ohm
1 Mosfet NPN 2N2222<\/p>\n\n\n\n
