Shows you did not understand at all the way steve's DIMMER ( never been a motor speed controller !!! ) works ...

Alain
It does say it can be used for motors in the code lampdim.bas
Also, I am not using this code for previous motor control project, it is just for controlling speed of my ceiling fan, not any stepper motor or anything like that.

I am trying to understand how fan/light Dimmers work & what is the benefit and use of half wave & full wave. Which one can be used for inductive load & which is better for resistive load?
