I'm going out of my mind. For months I've been trying to build a
simple opti-isolater circuit. I've seen it hundreds of times in books.
It goes something like this.
||||||||||||| |----####----
+5 <--- ######---|1 6|---#######------| load
r=100 | moc3010 | r=180 Triac AC120
GND -------------|2 4|--------------/ |
| | |------------
|||||||||||||
Please help, Is there something wrong with the above? The load
I've been using is a 100W bulb. The Triac is a 400V, 6amp (RS 276-1000);
I've tried many other triacs also, with no better luck. Pin 4 goes to the
triac gate.
If you've made a simular circuit work, could you let me in on it? I'm
getting a little desparate. My only requirement is TTL compatiblity and
no relays or solid state relays.
Please E-Mail, but I'll keep an eye on the newgroup also.
Thanks in advance
Bill
