Rectified wave problem

[amgen]

I use 'ac opto' to get 0xing. vary R3 to change width of the zero area

oh, add series resister to opto input !!

Thanks for your replies guys .

To amgen ; Why would we still need the diodes and the cap since the AC opto and a series resistor are sufficient to detect the zero crosses ?
I mean the following link would have sufficied I suppose ?

thought that was part of your power supply stuff !! otherwise then not needed.
