Controllable Dimmer???
Hi All
So i am thinking about controlling my christmas lights next year, and i have a question.
I want to do it with a cheap Triac and optoisolator. I know i can dim the circuit using a POT, like in the attached diagram. How do i get controll over this from a microcontroller?
Does anyone know a good part number?
THanks

You need to be very careful to isolate the AC voltage from the micro.
