Triac switching mains LED lamps- interesting problem - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

in current project, iot fashion, set mains lamps controlled across 'net via web page.
software & pi fine.
circuit use- opto-zerocross-triac triggering power triac- i've used years on loads of 200w plus.
when used on 5w mains led circuit keeps either blowing resistor or low-power phototriac output.

seems happen holding current bigger load current, main triac @ least turns off within half-cycle of mains, low power 1 stays on. means excessive current/power low power triac , burnout.
i've never seen problem described in text or web.

can circumvent using lower power output triacs lower holding currents. i've been used thinking it's universal circuit 1 moment switches desk lamp, spotlight, or mains drill motor. not now!

is 5w led lamps use bridge , capacitor?

found out led lamp. surge power because need charge capacitors.

maybe try add 47 ohm 1w resistor in series 5w lamps.
if problem resolves it.

dear all, working on image processing using raspberry pi, have installed intex usb web camera on raspberry pi. have used basic python script of image processing https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspb ... first.html required libraries installed on raspberry pi. script code: import imgproc imgproc import * # open webcam take pictures camera = camera(160, 120) # open viewer window display images viewer = viewer(160, 120, "the first step") # take picture camera img = camera.grabimage() # display image in viewer viewer.displayimage(img) # iterate on each pixel in image x in range(0, img.width): for y in range(0, img.height): # value @ xth column , yth row, place intensities variables red, green, blue = img[x, y] # test find colour dominant if red > green , red > blue: # red dominant, set pixel red img[x, y] = 255, 0, 0 elif green > red , green > blue: img[x, y] = 0, 255, 0 else: # if red or gr

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi
