I have a zero voltage switch https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2011/10/UAA2016-DPDF.pdf
being used with a triac https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2011/10/CD00235248.pdf
but can't compute the Iload or?
the circuit appears to be working as the triac gate has voltage but the voltage on the T1, keeps changing.
thinking the zero voltage section is not working right.
the circuit I am using I hope is correct https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2011/10/hakko_936_schem-pcb__mod_v1r7.pdf.
The LED never has lit up yet.
Maybe If I can get the application circuit as pictured in the UAA2016 data sheet pg 3 I might figure out what is going on. Contemplating using this zero voltage switch for a PIC controlled soldering iron but need to learn how to crawl.
NOTE I think the UAA2016 has the LED in backwards? as pictured
