Title: Light dimmner
Post by: Andre on March 03, 2008, 12:41:52 PM

Hello all!

Please i would like to make a light dimmer. I found some schematics but i want it to be operated with two buttons. One for more lighr, onr for less, and when press both turn on and off.

Do you know any good schematic to see help?

Actually you will need to make one dimmer with PIC or you will use some chips designed for this job. You may search the circuits archive (http://pcbheaven.com/handbook/archive/) and there you will find some schematics for this.

Also search some companies for chips and you will also find chips designed for exactly what you are looking for.

Of course you can. This will let you your imagination to do whatever you want, fade in, fade out, light trembling like candle, whatever. But you will need to design it down to it's last bit of info.
