Hi,

What do you mean by "drive or test 220V"? Do you mean how can you switch or control 220V with a PIC? If so, you'll need to use a mechanical or solid-state relay to do it. The PIC will then control the state of the relay. If that's not your question, can you elaborate some more - possibly with a description of your application?

you will find what you need...(power supply,zero croos dedector...)

and yor triac can be bta 41 and of course you mus use an optodiac to use your triac...
