Maverick PT Well, it’s not like I’m going to use them for production. For one or two PCBs, it’s usually cheaper, because you don’t need 10 of them for prototypes, and it’s much faster, which allows you to advance in your project. Not to mention what happens if you screw up... That happened to GreatScott! once, and he gave up on the DIY or Buy!

The ATTiny dimmer is an interesting project on itself. Thank you!

I love that you are acheiving the same thing with a microcontroller and with discrete components. It's really interesting to see how to replicate a seemingly complex project with these discrete components.

This video answering my big question of RobotDyn AC dimmer stay flickering when setted up power in 5%. Thanks!

Hi, nice video. Used a standard triac to dimm one 5W LED spot, never had issues with hold current.

This is the missing part of my project. Thanks great scott!!!

I built some dimming circuits following the ideas in here, it all works but getting it certified to install in an actual house is a different matter. I ended up building a low voltage control module to work with a certified 0-10v dimmer such as Finder 15.11

Great video...learnt many things

very enlightening as always

The final circuit diagram has a connection from between the two N Channel MOSFETs to GND. That connection was not in the initial diagram at about 7:15 into the video. Does that circuit then not connect AC Live through the load to GND and AC Neutral straight to GND. Perhaps GND is not Earth which would imply Earth leakage and thus trip an RCD? I think that's how and RCD trips, if the current going into Live doesn't come out the Neutral it must be leaking to Earth and thus trips. I'm sure your circuit is probably correct, but why is it correct? Even if you're only connecting AC Live to the ground reference of your DC Circuit it still seems a bad idea? What am I missing?

It's outlined in the FL5150 datasheet on how the different configurations work. Mainly, GND is a floating reference for the FL5150 so it can do things like measure voltage drop across the MOSFETS to monitor current limits and siphon energy for itself from the AC line to charge itself with a DC bias to neutral. If neutral wasn't available, they would have to use chassis ground. Neutral is also used as the zero-crossing reference to monitor when to switch. This circuit only switches the hot line. It doesn't do any control with neutral besides monitoring the zero crossing. When Great Scott attached two terminal blocks to connect two neutrals, that is purely for convenience so that he doesn't need to use an in-line crimp connector or solder and heat shrink to connect the load's neutral connection to the neutral coming from a power socket.

Das ist gut video, great explanation and illustration.

Great video, thanks for putting together. I like the pens you're using. Do you mind letting us know which ones are in the video? Thanks!

Excellent video! Thank you for share. I would like to know if you still using the IRF840 on the las PCB with de FL5150?

Lots of things learnt from you sir...

Interesting video! Will this circuit work as a speed controller for a universal AC/DC motor (such as a Dremel tool)? Thanks.

Pretty fantastic job, dude!!! 😃

Very helpful video. I like it 👍

Great video as usual!! I was reading the FL5150 data sheet it says it can be controlled by a microprocessor with a logic signal, what exact type of signal would that be because I, couldn't get PWM to work as yet?? And I don't think that is what it means anyway.

New if only I could purchase a commercial version of the high quality leading edge/trailing edge dimmer you made.

This is why I still use incandescent bulbs. I have over a dozen dimmers in my home controlling upwards of 60 bulbs. Over 40 are in the basement alone on six different switches. I tried numerous brands of LEDs over the years and they all have different cutoff voltages. Some will dim great while others on the circuit go out entirely or are brighter than the others. Back in 2016, I bought over 1,800 60 Watt bulbs which should last over 20 years.

@@pmgodfrey I don’t see it as a stupid ideia. What impressed me at first was how many you bought at once. Anyway, you made a decision based on info you had at the time. Also, LED lights used to be very high quality, today most manufacturers make cost oriented pieces of crap which main function is to quickly turn into electronic waste. Your incandescent bulbs may consume a bit more energy but they show a much nicer color temperature and impose zero harmonic distortion to the electric grid. So, you’re not that wrong.

@pmgodfrey

@@talesmaschio -- One of the biggest issues is how well they dim. Since most are built with low cost components, you can't expect much from a switch mode power supply, especially when they have such a wide operating voltage range. So they dim to a certain point and then some go out, others don't. Plus ones I've used in our rentals seem to be of horrible quality. They're they basic ones you find at any Home Depot. Might have just been a bad batch because I have had a few here and there that still work from 10 years ago.

Great project ! I just ordered the PCBs. Any idea what's the max power could be driven ? I have a 40W LED lamp. It is fine ?

Which type of dimmer is more suitable and power efficient for inductive load such as fans? Also is it possible to drive single phase ac motor as energy saving dc inverter motor?

your amazing GREATSCOTT👍👌

Great video, thank you for sharing this.

Hey scott ! I'm watching ur videos. I want power wall and E-skating board PCB which brand will u recommend.

Awesome as always..

Very interesting ! Thanks for sharing !

When I use filament light bulbs which doesnt have driver just capacitive dropper I always wire a switches to have one with capacitor which dims the bulb. It’s especially useful when you want to make a lamp that just lights like very old bulbs.

Would these circuits work well with an AC Fan? The only thing I’d probably need to add is a snubber circuit or replace the triac with a snubberless one

Scott is very cool and a bit high voltage as well. 💥💥💥 💟

Sir the video is realy nice and I realy enjoyed it So thanks for entertaning me

Would this solution be suitable for dimming an inductive load? - almost totally inductive - as I faced lots of problems while trying to connect a 24Vac Contactor to the main 220V using the ordinary dimmer circuit

High scott tks for your explanation regarding your project. I bought one module SCR voltage regulator from internet and I will try to use it as a dimmer for LED lamp. Is it work or not. Need your help.

Great Video, as usual Scott is a pro. Can you please tell me why you have 2 series potentiometers on the last design?

Love your videos.. but all examples show how to REPLACE an existing dimmer.. I can't replace mine.. what's the best way to convert from anti parallel scr to pwm?

Hey Scott, what about the power factor? Can we design a dimmer with a circuit correcting the power factor and the distortion of the signal?

Amazing skills!

A video on programming PIC microcontrollers would be awesome, especially as there's so little on KZread. Thanks!

Hi Ivan. Did you ever visit the JAL Website, see: justanotherlanguage.org/ ? I even made an Arduino like board so that you do not need a programmer to program it. See: www.instructables.com/id/JALPIC-One-Development-Board/

Nice thanks. How about adding up down push button design in you series of dimming AC LED bulbs?

hey greatscott can you test if a speaker crossover can make more voltage on the speaker outputs 12 v first begin slowely with 5 v to 12v

I used to have a homemade dimmable AC LED LIGHT. It consisted of a simple inductor to limit the AC current, then a bridge, cap, and the LEDs themselves. It worked well, although it was a bit bulky. (Would still have it, except that I tripped and dropped it and it broke)

Very good Congratulations. I am an electrician and one of the major problems I face when using dimmers with led lamps is when I turn on more than three lamps on the same circuit. For some unknown reason, grouping multiple light bulbs always causes unwanted flicker during dimming. Any ideas on what causes this problem?

Wow it's amazing

Very nice little ic for that use! How exactly does the Mosfet output stage not short to "ground"? The hit terminal would be shorted to ground every time the get turned on, right?

Can you show us the dimming of ventilator motors (of few motor types)? Fits to the current season...

Great video, thank you.

Can you build cricuit which can output 0 to 3.3 V by square wave of halleffect sensor.

Great video. Subscribed.

Nice lesson Thanks for sharing :-)

Stay creative and I will seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuu nextttttt time❤️❤️❤️

Hey Mr. Scott! why is R5 connected to the DC GND and the Neutral of the AC in the trailing edge circuit?????? Dosn't that pulls AC current to that DC Ground

Very Nice, This raise some questions though : -Why is there two mosfets and not only one ? -Why is the 12V power supply so big and how is it done in the commercial version which appear to be compact ?

great work

Hey GreatScott could you build a analog voltmeter with LEDs? Like an SMD VM-1

Hi GreatScott! could you give us a link which gloves you use? Thank you and stay creative ;)

Wouldnt a capacitor help the flicker? I may be thinking too much DC power, not AC power, but could it?

How make audio processing circuit and which is best audio processing ic please make one video

How does a dimmer circuit like this work with a non sinusoidal ac waveform? For example a square wave, or a "modified sinus wave" that some inverters uses. Would the triac activate at the zerocross region even if the change is nearly instantaneous? Just wondering for learning purposes only :)

Incredible! JaguarTrials loves you Scott! Keep doing your thing and let us know if you need any Netflix or Hulu accounts for a giveaway to your subscribers!

Hi, I wanted to know what is the point of using an optocoupler (U5) in the ATTiny version? The ground is common between the two sides and therefore the logic circuit is either riding on the neutral wire (not very safe) or on the live wire (well, not safe at all)

Thank god someone here is paying attention!! Everyone needs to read this!! This a terrible designed circuit! Use a photovoltaic MOSFET driver like a VOM1271T for the love of god. It will fully isolate the high from low voltage with no tie to GND. Also the MOSFET choice here is crappy. RDSOn of .85 ohms? At 60v, half the the waveform, you are expelling a lot of energy as heat! Also from Vishay, SUD80460E-GE3, something like RDSOn of .0447. That would be a lot better just to start!

How do you poke around mains powered stuff with the oscilloscope? Do you have an isolation transformer?

Hey scott i just create a drimmer, using two half brige IGBT and a variable duty cicle n555 arrangement, swiching at 5khz.

Very nice . Thanks.

The capacitors you recommend don't seem to be rated for high voltage. C3 (4uF7) would be subject to upwards of 100V?

Hi Love your video, and I'm with you on that ( it's just arrived but I can't wait to build it scenario), I've been there myself! Anyway I recently made my own dimmer but what I did was recitfy mains, step it down and ,P.W.M. Via a 4029 counter ended up with single push button control flipflop direction every alternate button push illumination levels remaining when I remove input, also has a back up battery, BUT BEWARE OF CONTACT BOUNCE use MAXIM'S switch debounce IC. Kind regards Warren

Interesting !! as usual . What about inductive loads like an AC FAN ? it would be Humming ?

is there a way to make this work with a touch dimmer module? I have been looking for a dimmer switch with a low, medium, high, and off, when you touch the lamp housing but the majority of the switches, don't support led bulbs or only support 40w, I'm looking at installing 60w.
