Set power 0% #10

Open Goczilla opened 5 years ago

Goczilla commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I am working with your hardware (AC Light Module Dimmer) and the RBDimmer library code, I control heating cartridge with your module. But, in normal mode, when I set the power to 0%, my cartridge is heating whereas it doesn't do that... Is it normal for you? For now, to make colder my cartridge, I have to set the power to 1% but it means I have always at less 1% of power sent to the cartbridge.

I thank you in advance for any help ;)

You can check my pull request. From what i saw in your case it won't enter the if loops in the library that change output pin state.

Goczilla commented 5 years ago

I will try your solution and come back later to let you know if it is working. Thank you.

Goczilla commented 5 years ago

If I add your modifications, I can't control anymore the card so I will add a relay to my circuit to make my 0%.

Mesmer88 commented 5 years ago

You mean it works fine but only 0% not working correctly?

Goczilla commented 5 years ago

No, it seems for me my code doesn't work at all, I can't control the card so all the power is send to my cartridge. I don't have time to test again for now sorry. I just stay to the last updated library.

I have the same problem. I cannot get power to go down to zero.

Goczilla commented 2 years ago

Fibally I used a relay for forcing the zero power. Not the best solution but it was working. Regards

That's probably what I'm going to do also. I already ordered the relay.

Yes the library is not well written: here a post I wrote with the corrections I made to solve this (and more) https://blocnote360.wordpress.com/2022/03/20/routeur-solaire/ (sorry in french) Hope it helps people in the same situation
