Did you have success with this board? I am keen to order a couple for my halogen downlighters.

Hi David,

You can find more MPDMv4 related informations on this dedicated thread:

Happy breadboarding,
TJ.

yes, very happy with it.
Check the thread in projects.

mgennip,

Can this code code be used for 2 channel AC dimmer.If so what do I have to add to your original code?

An ESP8266 runs on ESPEasy firmware and i have made a plugin that talks I2C to the Atmega328. It is similar to the pro mini extender, but my Atmega does the zero crossing detection and phase shifting.

It is in an earlyworking stage, but when i share my thoughts, i am sure that this will be picked up by others.

Did you make a plugin for ArduinoEasy?

I’m currently in testing my own ac dimmer, and trying to fit it all in a european in wall box.

Curently i’m using a esp-12 for rhe communication, for controlling the light i use a attiny85.

I wrote my own plugin as far as i can see it is working fine, try to adjust a few more things and then going to develope a new pcb, the last one had some mistakes in it.

Great! Will you be sharing more tech details and/or schematic?

look at the dutch page https://www.circuitsonline.net/forum/view/139309/1
but this was version 1, after getting the print i discoverd some problems, the E-12 needs more connections then i thought.

I let go i2c and now communicating with serial. becaus i need the int0 pin on the tiny for zcd.
now i'm in the process of remoddeling the stuf to get a new, better working dimmer board.

but first i wan't it all to control it over mqtt, here i'm a little stuck still in the processes of fiddeling out code and that kind of stuff

Just uploaded a video with regards to the development of Meek MD1 ( Meek Wi-Fi enabled Dimmer)

Do you have code sample for pro mini ?

Yes, I do, but it’s very “dirty” and still "work in progress".
Once I have implemented all the options, I will clean the code and put some explanations in the code for the ease of use/distribution.

I have placed the dirty code of the Meek MD1 dimmer, on the following topic :
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3721

I’ve just received the PCB’s for the Meek MD (Wifi Dimmer).
Unfortunately, the ATmega328 has not been delivered yet.

Once I have them in my possession, I will assemble and post some info.
In the meantime I will work on the dimmer codebase.

Attached you’ll find a picture of the dimmer PCB’s.
