circuitar / dimmer Goto Github PK

I am using DIMMER_RAMP and dimmer fades nicely when i set numeric value.
If i set dimmer to off() it turns off lamp instantly.
If i set dimmer to on() it turns lamp instantly to last value.
How can i fade on/off actions?

Hi,

with an Arduino Mega, is that possible to extend the number of AC dimmer to 20 or more ?

Thanks for your work

Bit hard to find. I finally looked in src/Dimmer.h and all was well. Please update README.md.

Otherwise great library. Thank you, Dev! Found it because the RBDDimmer library had reserved all six of the interrupt vectors on the Arduino MEGA?? Can't confirm at this point but everything now compiles with Dimmer. Oh, also, RBDDimmer's .setPower() function doesn't actually set power but firing_angle, so 100 is 90degrees (full power cycle), 0 is 0degrees, and 50 is 45degrees. Those are the only values that .setPower() is accurate for. If you want correct value everywheree, can map firing_angle like this:
int angle_as_percent = 10000*acos(1-2*(power/100))/100/3.141592; //linearizing such that input from 0% to 100% linearly corresponds to output power 0% to 100%

Ah, wait...that's for 50Hz. Mmm yeah I heard this library assumes a perfect 60Hz? I've got 50, so I will have to deal with that sooner than I'd like, I bet...still good though.

i have also an (solar powered) immersion heater and i want to drive it by a half /full-wave paket control/ Schwingungspaketsteuerung .
It would be great if it could be integrated!

• Make sure to use new folder structure with "extras/docs" for ArduinoDocs files and "src" folder for .h/.cpp
  • Use Nanoshield_LCD as an example
• Update README
  • Convert README.md (Markdown) to README.rst (ResStructuredText)
  • Use README from Nanoshield_LoadCell as an example.
• Add library.properties

I am using a ZCD circuit controlling a TRIAC. Now I am using Dimmer library for this purpose. It works fine with ATMega 328 but whenever I try to upload the code in ATMega 128 using Arduino IDE this error pops up:
`Arduino: 1.8.4 (Windows 10), Board: "ATmega128, 2.7v, Disabled (default), 16 MHz external"

Any idea what is the issue ?

Hi,

Can I replace INT0 with PCINT, as I am using Leonardo and have connected RTC module along with TXD1 and RXD1?
Kindly oblige

Hello, sorry for my bad English. I'm using Robotdyn's dimmer module.
I use it with the Dimmer.h library. When I extend the power cables of the lamps, the dimmer feature disappears, it just turns on and off. I think the library is set to 60hz, I need to set it to 50hz. Can someone help? I think it will be fixed at 50hz. Can you upload or send it set to 50hz? Cable length dimmer feature does not work.

Hi, when i try to use the class DimmerControl it´s doesn´t working. And i veryfied that this class is missing on the lib dimmer.h. Could you help me in that?

Could you please share steps to calculate effective power applied to a resistive load over time?
Since local power is 50Hz instead of 60 used in the code:

// Time table to set triacs (50us tick)
//   This is the number of ticks after zero crossing that we should wait before activating the
//   triac, where the array index is the applied power from 1 to 100, minus one. This array is
//   calculated based on the equation of the effective power applied to a resistive load over
//   time, assuming a 60HZ sinusoidal wave.

¡Hi!

I just tried to use this library on my board with an ATMEGA128 but did not work. I got the next error:

JELdimmer2\src\JELdimmer2.cpp:7:20: error: 'TCCR2A' was not declared in this scope
#define _TCCRxA(X) TCCR ## X ## A

I was watching some forums about this problem but nobody had the answer. The library can not support this chip?
If this is the problem, could you add support for this chip, please?

Boa tarde:
Antes de mais nada gostaríamos de parabenizar sobre o excelente trabalho em criar a bilbioteca Dimmer.h, já que ha bastante tempo estava buscando algum recurso viável e de fácil utilização para a plataforma Arduino.
Utilizei a sua bilbioteca em alguns scketchs, e notei uma coisa:
No modo NORMAL_MODE, consegui utilizar todos os 10 dimmers e ainda assim mantive incólume a comunicação serial. Porém, ao tentar usar mais de dois dimmers no modo RAMP_MODE, em conjunto com a comunicação serial nativa do arduino, a mesma simplesmente perde a funcionalidade. Até a habilitação do segundo dimmer não tive nenhum problema, mas a partir do terceiro dimmer ele não mais responde. Sabe se haveria algum remédio para este efeito indesejável? Vejo que vocês usaram o TIMER2 na bilbioteca, e até aonde eu sei o uso dele não é usado na USART que controla a serial.
Já percebi que, mesmo antes de usar a bilbioteca de vocês, o uso da serial fica um pouco limitado, independente se usar-se o TIMER1, TIMER2 ou sem o uso do timer ( sem o uso dos timers é bem pior porque a temporização é feita dentro da interrupção gerada pelo sensor zerocross, e sobra muito pouco tempo para o microcontroller executar todas as outras tarefas), tinha esperança que esta sua bilbioteca não tivesse esta mesma limitação (embora ela seja superior aos outros métodos usados até hoje por mim).
Sei que vocês não tem obrigação de darem suporte ao uso dessa biblioteca, mas se puder dar uma dica de como contornar isso, agradeço muito.

Hello!
Can you help me? I can't make this library work with arduino leonardo and RobotDyn dimmer module. processor ATmega32U4-AU. DIMMER_ZERO_CROSS_PIN - 7.

For larger production runs, Atmega MCU's are often overkill for this application, and so a smaller MCU such as the ATtiny85 would be better suited.
Reserving two pins for communication with external components, three triacs can still be controlled, making this an extremely efficient solution.

Unless existing work on this exists, I'll be forking this repo in order to provide the applicable configuration needed to make this work.

Hi, I have a espNodemcu, can I use this library? Because I get the following error:
"fatal error: util/atomic.h: No such file or directory"
Thanks you.

I want to adapt LUT for 50Hz mains, but can't figure out exactly what equation you were using for it:

Hi Luis,
can you add support for atmega64 chip?
I'm using https://github.com/MCUdude/MegaCore for chip support in Arduino IDE and all works but your library use specific timer registers which not exists for atmega64.

Here is what i see in compile window
