Variator de tensiune pentru bec cu Arduino (III)

   Fata de articolul precedent in care am controlat intensitatea luminoasa a unui bec din soft sau cu ajutorului unui buton prin crestere de la zero pana la maxim intr-un anumit numar de pasi, apoi de la maxim la minim, acum am mai pus un buton fara retinere astfel pot creste sau scade intensitatea dupa dorinta.

   Prima data am ales varianta cu 2 trepte de intensitate (bec stins, la 50% si la maxim), realizand si un mic filmulet numit ac light dimmer with Arduino (IX):

   Starile sunt:
- bec stins (LED albastru la maxim):

- bec la 50% (LED albastru la 50%):

- bec la maxim (LED albastru stins):

   Sketch-ul numit versiunea 4.0 este urmatorul:

AC Light Control

 Updated by Robert Twomey <rtwomey@u.washington.edu>

 Changed zero-crossing detection to look for RISING edge rather
 than falling.  (originally it was only chopping the negative half
 of the AC wave form). 

 Also changed the dim_check() to turn on the Triac, leaving it on 
 until the zero_cross_detect() turn's it off.

 Ryan McLaughlin <ryanjmclaughlin@gmail.com>

 The hardware consists of an Triac to act as an A/C switch and 
 an opto-isolator to give us a zero-crossing reference.
 The software uses two interrupts to control dimming of the light.
 The first is a hardware interrupt to detect the zero-cross of
 the AC sine wave, the second is software based and always running 
 at 1/128 of the AC wave speed. After the zero-cross is detected 
 the function check to make sure the proper dimming level has been 
 reached and the light is turned on mid-wave, only providing 
 partial current and therefore dimming our AC load.

   Starile sunt:
- bec stins (LED albastru aprins 100%, iar cel rosu stins)

- bec la treapta 1:

- bec la treapta 2:

- bec la treapta 3:

- bec la treapta 4:

- bec la treapta 5:

- bec la treapta 6:

- bec la treapta 7:

- bec aprins la maxim (LED rosu aprins la 100%, iar cel albastru stins):

   Pentru a avea 16 trepte de iluminare, se injumatateste pasul fata de cel pentru 8 trepte:

int pas = 8;                    // step for count;
// version: 4m6 (04.04.2013 - Craiova, Romania) - 16 steps & LED blue to red (off to MAX) 

acum sketch-ul a devenit versiunea 4m6, fiind completat si cu monitorizare seriala (pe ecranul monitorului) a valorilor intensitatii becului si celor 2 LED-uri (rosu si albastru):
