Wait till you've been on the forums for awhile slosjo, the do my assignment for me posts come in spurts. If Nigel feels like killing this thread he's welcome to do so, it's off topic anyway.
but if he will take the initiative to do some research and ask a good question or two, I'll answer.
Might happen but I wouldn't hold my breath.
So you're not going to post a remote light dimmer? Ah well would have been nice to see.
Nobody is picking on AND_ECE, and any actual efforts to help him have gone nowhere.
I suspect AND_ECE will be back with yet another question, perhaps an entire sentence in length. Then he'll disappear for awhile. Repeat/rinse.
As will hundreds of other posters, but some will learn and with a little luck get whatever problem they had in mind solved and we all get a little smarter.
Want to see people shot down in flames for being stupid try Microchips forums.
Want to see people begging for homework assignments and e-books try electro-tech-online, problem is that site is 99% leeches and 1% helpful. On the other hand lots of rapidshare links.
Just for fun I'm going to throw AND_ECE a bone, here's a remote controlled light dimmer project. Everything he would need is on the site. A simple google search is all it took.
Lets see what happens. And it comes with a warning.
ATTENTION, HIGH VOLTAGE!
Watch out when building this project, seeing that the whole PCB is under life line high voltage!!!
Don't program the PIC in the PCB with --in circuit programming-- !
Seeing that this PCB doesn't use a transformer, the whole PCB is under high 230V network voltage.
The PIC as well!
The 11 Watt resistor can be very warm (60°C), beware for burning or melting materials and bodyparts!

Is is a good design? Well I've never personally hooked a 78L05 to the mains.
