Hi--

Does anyone have a circuit and some code for driving a 60 Hz, mains-line
synced  PWM?  I need to create an AC dimmer for 120V incandescent lights
that will  operate under PIC control.  I know it's been done, but I have
yet to see a  lucid explanation of how the routine works...

Thanks-- I thought I'd see if anyone can help so I don't spend development
time  re-inventing the wheel!
