Dimmer 2 Version

This document describes a circuit that uses an Arduino to control the power delivered to a load by a TRIAC using pulse width modulation. It uses an optocoupler and potentiometer as inputs, and outputs pulses to the DIAC from digital pin 3 on the Arduino. An interrupt routine detects state changes on the optocoupler input and sets a flag to trigger pulse output from the Arduino on the next loop, with the pulse width determined by the potentiometer position.
