Looks like Steve was going for a 10 second period in the MAXDELAY . Triggering with the AC line at 60 Hz 6000 cycles = 10 second.
DIMMERS? Catching the positive side of the AC signal?

Hi, Dave
Maxdelay value is used for a PAUSEUS command ( bottom of program ) ... soooooo ...
looks Steve has left 2 ms time for the triac to de-activate @ zero approaching and get a good zero detection for next cycle, maiy be executing some code lines in between ()
these 2 ms also set the minimum time the lamp glows ( may be THE reason) to effectively produce some light ...

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

So that is what the US after PAUSE is for![]()

I am trying to experiment and adjust this code for 16F676 BUT with an external oscillator (_XT_OSC).
Can I still use "T1CON=%00110100"?
You have to set bit 2 to 0 T1CON = %00110000 for external oscillator.Can I still use "T1CON=%00110100"?
The above has been copied from the code you have posted. This code, without correction, will not compileCode:gosub Debounce_AutoRepeat if (triacdelayMaxDelay, fullbright=1 ' set the full brightness Flag endif

All progress began with an idea
OK, I have now changed the code to work on 16F676. Code is attached.
I have tried different values for triacdelay from 8000 & downwards as in lampdim.bas to as high as 15000 & downwards, but I am not getting satisfactory results for my fan speed.
It woks fine at full speed but when values start reducing, the fan speed reduces quiet a lot at the first step only. Any ideas as to what values I should try with?
