Light dimmer not working
I am unable to get the following code to work properly.
Full brightness and off work however in between the 7 1/2 watt test light bulb flickers in place of dimming.
A scope shows the half wave signal input on pin 3 is cycling between 0 and 4 VDC.
I have tried both a MOC3043 optoisolater and a CX240D5 solid state relay to directly drive the bulb.
What is wrong with this setup?
