This is a very simple dimmer with a triac output (phase control). It uses timer0 to do the timing.


The control part (here a P12F629) is competely isolated from the 230V mains supply:
- the zero crossing detector contains an optocoupler (4N25 or similar),
- the drive of the triac also contains an opto coupler (MOC3025 or similar). Be aware: the latter optocoupler should NOT have a zero cross detection!

The 5V power supply is not drawn in the schematic.

The ignition angle can be set in the example by setting the value of Tmr0 at the end of the zero crossing detection. The example uses only these 3 values, see the comments below:

     Case Step of
        0: Tmr0 := 0;   // never ignite triac (delay > 10 ms)
        1: Tmr0 := 140; // low value = long delay = late ignition = low power
        2: Tmr0 := 175; // average power
        3: Tmr0 := 250; // high value = short delay = high power
      end;

The 230V mains is connected between pins 1 and 2 of the connector, the load (e.g. an incandescent lamp) is connected between pins 3 and 4.

2015-10-10: the circuit diagram has been adapted to the correct (with galvanic separation between the grid and the PIC) one.

With this example one can load an internet page from an HTTP server. At this moment the remote IP address is fixed in the code and it loads the default file from the server. All data received from the HTTP server is sent to Uart1 where it can be picked up by a uart program to display or to save to a file.
