I spent the last week trying to complete an optocoupler - triac circuit in the hope I could control 220Vac.
I am now at a point where I'm was confident at an attempt but haven't been able to turn the load. I have gone through various sources and for the life of me I cannot understand why and to be honest I was expecting it to stay on and to not turn off.
I have uploaded the actual photo of the circuit and the connections. If anyone has succeded and would be so kind as to point out a connection error or pin error I would really appreciate it.
