Amicus18: Arduino-style platform for PIC fans using PIC18F25K20

Arduino needs no introduction; it is an easy-to-use yet powerful open source embedded system development platform that has gained huge amount of popularity in past few years, specially among hobbyists. The standard hardware consists of an 8-bit Atmel AVR processor with on-board headers providing access to its I/O pins. The processor is pre-programmed with a […]

Arduino controlled light dimmer

Arduino controlled light dimmer

WARNING: Some people try to build this with an optocoupler with zerocrossing coz ‘that is better’ right? Some are even told in electronics shops it is better to use such an optocoupler. WRONG. This will only work with a random fire optocoupler: NOT igniting at zerocrossing is the principle of this dimmer. Switching an AC
