    zero cross control pin?

    Thanks, I appreciate the answer. Although I’ve decided to go an entirely different route anyway, but thanks for the explanation and good luck with your project :)

    zero cross control pin?

    Thanks, I appreciate that. I am very skeptical about anything from Aliexpress, so I was going to check that out further with someone more knowledgable than me. Live heatsinks!! that doesn't sound good. Any chance you could tell me what you think of this one...

    zero cross control pin?

    And now I've realised that this is not a trailing edge dimmer, so its not suitable. I'm still interested as to why there was this pin limitation, and how it applies to teensies though...

    zero cross control pin?

    Just found some more info, but it still doesn't answer my question. Perhaps someone else will understand more than I do? Dimmer is connected to Arduino controllers via two digital pins. First (Zero) to control the passing of Phase Null of AC, which is used to initiate the interrupt signal...

    zero cross control pin?

    I want to control some light dimmers with a teensy. I'm looking at this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32975095882.html however, in the list of Arduino's, it lists some of them as only having one pin suitable for the input (zero cross). I'm not sure why there is this limitation. I assume...

    Touch screen not displaying labels as expected

    LOL! How embarrassing. I copied the syntax for a for loop from another place without checking. Doh! thanks :)

    Touch screen not displaying labels as expected

    Hi guys and gals This is part of my first project. I'm trying to get my tft touchscreen to work, and it isn't drawing as expected. I'm expecting with the following code, to get 8 rectangles with the labels from the array "lengths" on them. But there seem to be a number of labels appearing that...

    Newbie: What is meant by "not 5 volt tolerant"

    Thanks. Everything seems to be working well now (other than my cheap breadboard not being very reliable in its connections!)

    Newbie: What is meant by "not 5 volt tolerant"

    Thanks guys, that makes sense. So i'm meant to use the 3.3V (250 mA max) pin for power. I did read somewhere that the baud rate (?) is slower when set to 3.3volt, but I can't find that reference again. Is there anything else I have to do, other than use the 3.3 volt pin (and use appropriate...

    Newbie: What is meant by "not 5 volt tolerant"

    Hi, I'm a newbie to physical projects such as teensy, but a long time programmer (iOS) I have just received my first teensy, a 3.6 It says "Teensy 3.6 pins are not 5 volt tolerant. Do not apply more than 3.3 volts" Yet when I do the "tutorial 4" project,on this site, I install a button, and...
