To control the dimmer with the Arduino the following code will be used: Here’s in the image we describe the pins for IR and dimmer but these pins are not specific.

The zero cross-pin will be used at interrupt pin and any digital pins can be used to control the signal. Here we will describe a method to control the dimmer with an Arduino. To use the dimmer we will need to use the microcontroller. This zero-cross allows the microcontrollers to control the HIGH ac load with the simple microcontroller. This single pulse is used to detect the events of change in frequency which is known as zero crosses. The optocoupler generates the same type of single pulse no matter how much the signal has noise. To convert it to the proper signal we use the optocoupler. The DC voltages coming out from the resistance is lower in voltages but it has a noise that is not effective to use as the signal. The optocoupler is connected to a rectifier through a HIGH watt resistance and the rectifier is converting the HIGH AC to HIGH DC and resistance is lowering down the DC voltages. The basic features of optocoupler here is to give the change in frequency pulse. The AC load is further control by some TRIACS. The change in voltage gives the ability to control the AC. The zero-cross is the method in which we receive the change in the frequency signal of the AC voltages. In IoT especially home automation or heavy load control, we need to control the AC load by the effect of change in frequency.

The optocoupler has many uses but due to increasing in IOT field from 2012 the optocoupler is now increasingly using in daily life to control the appliances.

The manually made Optocoupler has low voltage operating voltage level as compare to this PC817.The closed communication protects it from many things especially from temperature too.First manually made circuit comes in a larger size, then in case of IR receiving devices the circuit IR sender of auto coupler or receiver could be affected by other IR signals.The Optocoupler is just a small-sized circuit of infrared receiver and sender but in case of making it with externally by using IR sender and receiver cause many problems. What you put into the IN pins, will be replicated on the the OUT pins, but at the higher voltage (HV).The circuit is totally simple but the resistance will give it protection at the input in HIGH voltages. We threw some transistors on this compact board to correct the inversion. Great for use in noisy circuits where signal lines require electrical isolation.Ī normal LED opto-isolator will invert the logic of a signal. This breakout board uses the ILD213T optoisolator and discrete transistors to correct the logic. This board will isolate the systems, creating a type of electrical noise barrier between devices. We often use this board to allow a microcontroller control servos or other motors that use a higher voltage than the TTL logic on the (3.3V or 5V) micro, and may cause electromagnetic interferance with our system as the motors turn on and off. This allows the low-voltage side to control a high voltage side. This IC has two LEDs and two photodiodes built-in. This board electrically isolates a controller from the high-power system by use of an opto-isolator IC. This board is helpful for connecting digital systems (like a 5V microcontroller) to a high-voltage or noisy system.
