Can someone please teach me about the different parts of maybe starting out with a simple dimmer circuit using either two Diacs, resistors, capacitors.
I understand that I need an isolating transformer for my circuit, because working with mains voltage is dangerous.
So I'd like someone to present a simple dimmer circuit, and work let's work from there. I want to have a better understanding of how capacitors, resistors, Diacs, Triacs work in a dimmer circuit. I'll post a simple circuit, and if it's not simple enough, or if anyone has a better starting point, I'll work from there. Thanks.
Just going to throw this in here as a starting point. I don't understand this circuit at all. But I'd like to understand it. Like for instance, the paths the electricity takes. Talking about what happens when the electrons hit an electronic component. etc.
