hi
i'm building a remote controlled light dimmer circuit.i've got to dim two lights.i'm using a phillips remote which uses the RC5 protocol. I've decoded the code from the remote but i now have to use a triac and control the intensity of the light. i'll be using a microcontroller for this. i need the microcontroler program for this. i'd prefer it if the prog was for a atmel 89c51 or an atmel 89c2051 but any other program is fine too.

thnx in advance

Hi usernam,

You can also try Elektor Electronics, No. 323-July/August 2003 UK issue includes:

Remote Light Control with Dimmer:
The microcontroller-driven switch described in this article allows one lamp to switched on and off as well as dimmed, all using an RC5-compatible infrared remote control.

Maybe that's all you need...

If you'd like a copy of this article for learning and evaluation porposes, PM me and I'll upload it here.

Regards.

hi jr, woodster

thnx for the article but its a bit late. i already finished the dimmer. Smile

here's a little write up on it if anybody is interested. It only covers the hardware portion and not the software part. unfortunately no time to write about the software. hopefully i'll get some time soon.

Sorry, but you need login in to view this attachment
