Hello Geeks,
I was wondering whether i can use pwm channels on N78E059A Nuvoton micro-controller as lamp dimmer. I have actually done a pwm code on ESP8266 WiFi module but the problem is that the lamp flickers a lot, so i was wondering whether pwm channels can help me or not. I think i need fading effect in-order to stop flickering of the lamp ?
The hardware with me is N78E059A (8051 core with pwm channels), MOC3041 opto coupler for triac BT12 and an incandescent lamp.
Any help will be helpful.
Okay,
I am not that much into the power theory. I am basically a programmer who like to do embedded programming and do some hardware assembly with the help of people like you. After reading your last reply i think i should go with MOC3021 with zero crossing detection for firing the triac. Actually i have one circuit in that i don't see zero crossing circuit. If i have time i will email you the image of that circuit may be you can have a say on how dimming is implemented on it.
