Hi,
Sorry for bumping my own thread but the last one seems to have been buried (see here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=298511.0
I have modified the AC Phase Control code given on the Arduino Playground to try and make a PID heater controller. I was instructed in the last thread that I should be making better use of Timer interrupts to trigger the triacs.
I have copied the code but I am really struggling with the timer firing and also understanding the purpose of PULSE shown below.
Basically, I just want to be able to control the power output from the Triac from 0-100% with a variable called Percent. How do I correlate this Timer based system with Percent going from 0-100% without having the code issues highlighted in the last thread?
Once that is implemented, I want to be able to set up a PID control loop with Setpoint being a chosen temperature, Input = thermistor reading and Output = Percent duty cycle of the Triac.
I just can’t seem to figure it out and understand how that OCR1A operates and controls the duty cycle.
Please help and thanks!
Barry
