Simple Wireless TRIAC Dimmer


This project was used as a wireless light dimmer, but in principle can be used to dim resistive loads and wirelessly turn on/off loads. The current code includes a routine to dim a light bulb in a “heartbeat” pattern, with the heartbeat frequency remotely adjustable.


The top left of the schematic shows the wall outlet (US 120VAC) being stepped down with a small transformer, then full rectified and regulated. This powers the entire board from the wall. The top right shows a microcontroller, ATmega48, its programming header, and a UART connection to the microcontroller (for debugging). The bottom right shows the XBee and its basic voltage regulation (it’s 3.3V), as well as an LED that indicates when the XBee is connected. [ ]

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Schematic Audio Amplifier with IC AN7102S

This Schematic use IC AN7102S , this is setereo amplifier and have output speaker 7,5 mW with impedance 32 Ohm . Supply need 1Volt to 3 Volt , wow this amplifier low voltage. You can use this amplifier on radio is use battery . With just one battery with voltage 1,5 Volt you can play this amplifier. See this Schematic below : Click to Enlarge Datasheet IC AN7102S Vcc                   =  1-3 V Pout                 = 2X 7,5 mW RL                    = 32 Ohm Ft                      = 20hz - 20Khz Icco                  = 7 mA Package         = DIP-18 Manufactered = MATSUSHITA
