AC dimmer not working

Projects Programming
1

Hi there
i must have got something wrong but i can not get this code below to work it just appears dead...
I have used the blink sketch to confirm that the hardware is working (Trica).
I have also used the button sketch to confirm that the opto input is working (using a led on another pin).
I have had this working in the past so i don't no if it is something to do with my IDE?
It compiles fine.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks for any help
Joe

#include <ACdimmer.h>

int outPin = 5;   // the pin connected to the triac gate
uint8_t level;

/* zero cros detector connected to pin 2 */
ACdimmer myDimmer(outPin, AC_DIMMER_PIN_2);

void setup() {
  myDimmer.begin();
}

void loop() {

  level = map(analogRead(A3), 0, 1023,0,255);
  myDimmer.setValue(level);

  delay(50);

}

bit of a update i have download the new IDE (1.8.8 ) and i have done away with the pot (see below) if i set it for 255 the light comes on but any other valve the light is off :frowning:

is it something to do with the delay with in the library?

void loop() {

  //level = map(analogRead(A3), 0, 1023,0,255);

  myDimmer.setValue(255);

  delay(50);

}
