Circuit implements photovoltaic-module simulator

José M Blanes and Ausiàs Garrigós writes: Electronics engineers often use photovoltaic-module simulators to test dc/dc-power converters, inverters, or MPPT (maximum-power-point-tracking)-control techniques. The use of these simulators lets you work in the laboratory with...

230V AC dimmer, mains isolated, using PIC12F629

This is a very simple mains isolated dimmer with a triac output (phase control). It uses timer0 to do the timing. There is no user interface, the value of the triac ignition delay after a zero crossing is defined by setting the reload value of timer0 (Tmr0) in the software...
