switching 230V

Hello,
I'm new to the basicstamp, but i like it !
i want to make a module to switch 230V to flash lights in a pattern (say
at a frequency of 100 times a minute)
it there an existing solution to do this?
second question, how can i get input from sensors?
is there n existing board for it?
where can i find existing projects?
regards,
Pascal

The best way to go is to use a solid state relay (SSR) with a triac output.
You drive them just if they were a LED. On the output side it acts like a
relay.
Connect the AC via a fuse to the lamp, the other side of the lamp to the SSR
output and the other output of the SSR back to the AC. Then connect the
anode of the LED in the SSR to 5V via a 330ohm resistor and the cathode to
the STAMP pin.
Now, 'Low 0' turns the light on and 'High 0' turns it off.
Make sure you know what you are doing when messing with the 230V! If you are
100% sure don't do it!
Good luck.
