| Zero crossing detector problem |

Hello everybody, i'm new here and i need help, please. I'm trying to do a temperature control system for a water heater through power control with triac.
My problem is i need generate a control signal from PIC to indicate triac when open and close, but PIC doesn't it.
To design code i based on Microchip apps document using directly mains voltage connected to RA0 and using external interruption, but it doesn't work.
Some data are:
Voltage amplitude: 12 Vrms.
Voltage frequency: 50 Hz.
Temperatures range amplitude: 4
I attach source code. Thank you very much.

Comments:
1) RA0 with EXT Interrupt ???
2) You are doing an AD conversion inside an interrupt.
3) To handle temperatures, you do not need to do multiple AD conversion per second.
4) It is impossible to run all these stuff with FOUR interrupts activated, at least in this way.

If you are putting 12V RMS into the PIC and haven't yet killed the PIC (give it time) then you may have probably put the PIC in latch-up mode.

| Following Microchip app directions, i've placed a 500M resistor to limit current. |

Why don't you use opto-coupled triac driver with zero cross detection like MOC3061.
All problems with cross detection are solved and you have only to deal with the logic part of problem.  |

If you only have 12VAC then 500M is awfully big. AN521 suggests 5 Meg for 110VAC RMS to get 32uA peak. For 12VAC RMS you would need a resistor of about 500k. It a lot cheaper than an opto isolator if you have your grounds right.

I'm sorry, I mistook, i used a 500k resistor. Regarding opto-couple, i didn't think it before, but unfortunately it's not long until i have show project to professor.
Thanks |
