Public Functions

Type Name
virtual bool begin () override
Enable a dimmer on a specific GPIO pin.
virtual void end () override
Disable the dimmer.
uint16_t getFiringDelay () const
Get the firing delay in us of the dimmer in the range [0, semi-period] At 0% power, delay is equal to the semi-period: the dimmer is kept off At 100% power, the delay is 0 us: the dimmer is kept on This value is mostly used for TRIAC based dimmers but also in order to derive metrics based on the phase angle.
float getPhaseAngle () const
Get the phase angle in degrees (°) of the dimmer in the range [0, 180] At 0% power, the phase angle is equal to 180 At 100% power, the phase angle is equal to 0.
gpio_num_t getPin () const
Get the GPIO pin used for the dimmer.
void setPin (gpio_num_t pin)
Set the GPIO pin to use for the dimmer.
virtual const char * type () override const
virtual ~ThyristorDimmer ()

Type Name
void enablePowerLUT (bool enable)
Enable or disable the use of power LUT for this phase-control dimmer The power LUT provides a non-linear dimming curve that is more aligned with human perception of brightness. If disabled, a linear dimming curve will be used.
virtual float getPowerRatio () override const
virtual bool isOnline () override const
Returns true if the dimmer is online.
bool isPowerLUTEnabled () const
Check if the power LUT is enabled.
virtual bool setDutyCycle (float dutyCycle) override
Set the power duty, eventually remapped by the power LUT if enabled.
virtual ~PhaseControlDimmer ()

Type Name
virtual bool begin ()
bool calculateHarmonics (float * array, size_t n) const
bool calculateMetrics (Metrics & metrics, float gridVoltage, float loadResistance) const
virtual void end ()
float getDutyCycle () const
Get the power duty cycle configured for the dimmer by the user.
float getDutyCycleFire () const
Get the real firing duty cycle (conduction duty cycle) applied to the dimmer in the range [0, 1].
float getDutyCycleLimit () const
Get the power duty cycle limit of the dimmer.
float getDutyCycleMapped () const
Get the remapped power duty cycle from the currently user set duty cycle.
float getDutyCycleMax () const
Get the remapped "1" of the dimmer duty cycle.
float getDutyCycleMin () const
Get the remapped "0" of the dimmer duty cycle.
virtual float getPowerRatio () const
bool isEnabled () const
Check if the dimmer is enabled (if it was able to initialize correctly)
bool isOff () const
Check if the dimmer is off.
bool isOn () const
Check if the dimmer is on.
bool isOnAtFullPower () const
Check if the dimmer is on at full power.
virtual bool isOnline () const
Returns true if the dimmer is online.
void off ()
Turn off the dimmer.
void on ()
Turn on the dimmer at full power.
virtual bool setDutyCycle (float dutyCycle)
Set the power duty.
void setDutyCycleLimit (float limit)
Set the power duty cycle limit of the dimmer. The duty cycle will be clamped to this limit.
void setDutyCycleMax (float max)
Duty remapping (equivalent to Shelly Dimmer remapping feature). Useful to calibrate the dimmer when using for example a PWM signal to 0-10V analog convertor connected to a voltage regulator which is only working in a specific voltage range like 1-8V.
void setDutyCycleMin (float min)
Duty remapping (equivalent to Shelly Dimmer remapping feature). Useful to calibrate the dimmer when using for example a PWM signal to 0-10V analog convertor connected to a voltage regulator which is only working in a specific voltage range like 1-8V.
void setOnline (bool online)
Set the online status of the dimmer.
virtual const char * type () const
virtual ~Dimmer ()

Public Functions Documentation

function begin

Enable a dimmer on a specific GPIO pin.

virtual bool Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::begin () override

Warning:

Dimmer won't be enabled if pin is invalid

Warning:

Dimmer won't be activated until the ZCD is enabled

Implements Mycila::Dimmer::begin


function end

Disable the dimmer.

virtual void Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::end () override

Warning:

Dimmer won't be destroyed but won't turn on anymore even is a duty cycle is set.

Implements Mycila::Dimmer::end


function getFiringDelay

Get the firing delay in us of the dimmer in the range [0, semi-period] At 0% power, delay is equal to the semi-period: the dimmer is kept off At 100% power, the delay is 0 us: the dimmer is kept on This value is mostly used for TRIAC based dimmers but also in order to derive metrics based on the phase angle.

inline uint16_t Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::getFiringDelay () const


function getPhaseAngle

Get the phase angle in degrees (°) of the dimmer in the range [0, 180] At 0% power, the phase angle is equal to 180 At 100% power, the phase angle is equal to 0.

inline float Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::getPhaseAngle () const


function getPin

Get the GPIO pin used for the dimmer.

inline gpio_num_t Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::getPin () const


function setPin

Set the GPIO pin to use for the dimmer.

inline void Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::setPin (
    gpio_num_t pin
) 


function type

inline virtual const char * Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::type () override const

Implements Mycila::Dimmer::type


function ~ThyristorDimmer

Public Static Functions Documentation

function onZeroCross

static void Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::onZeroCross (
    int16_t delayUntilZero,
    void * args
) 

Callback to be called when a zero-crossing event is detected.

  • When using MycilaPulseAnalyzer library, this callback can be registered like this:

pulseAnalyzer.onZeroCross(Mycila::ThyristorDimmer::onZeroCross);

  • When using your own ISR with the RobotDyn ZCD, you can call this method with delayUntilZero == 200 since the length of the ZCD pulse is about 400 us.
  • When using your own ISR with the ZCd from Daniel S, you can call this method with delayUntilZero == 550 since the length of the ZCD pulse is about 1100 us.
