Three big PCBs will be made each containing: - 10 triacs 8A max - 10 AVRtiny low power control MCUs - optionally master controller with lcd Which gives a total of 30 ouputs fully dimmer controlled. One PCB will have a master unit companied with a little OLED lcd module to parametrize the slave modules. The master and the slaves will be connected by a one wire bus. At this stage it's to early to reveal to much details as we are just beginning to explore what target devices could best do the job. However a first proposition is already chosen: Slave : ATTiny861 Master : ATMEGA2560
The hardware will be done by my friend and can be contacted at manes6969atgmail.com
I will write the software using the AVRstudio 4 with gcc plugin.
The first thing we work on now is a development kit that makes live a bit easier and make things more concrete.
Stay tuned there will be much more in the coming weeks.
