Overview

Dimmer is an open-source printed circuit board by kiall, from the kiall/esp8266-dimmer repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 60 × 60 mm with 29 parts on 35 nets, routed with 165 tracks and 15 vias.

It is built around the BT136X-600,127 and MOC3021M. Its parts include 11 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 capacitors, 3 ICs and 3 diodes. It belongs with the ESP8266 boards of this library.

Revision History:

v1.2:

v1.2 is tested as working.

Fixes:

  • Fix PSU Ordering - Secondary DC + and - pins swapped.
  • U3 pad size corrected
  • C3 470uF footprint corrected
  • Add 3v3 + GND power inputs for programming without a mains connection
  • PCB Layout reworked

Issues Not Yet Fixed:

  • More space behind D1 (Triac) would be better, to allow for a larger heatsink.
  • 3v3 + GND power inputs for programming without a mains connection should be labeled on the board.

v1.1:

Fixes:

  • Fix Traic Pin Ordering

Issues Not Yet Fixed:

  • None

Questions

How big is the Dimmer PCB?

It measures 60 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Dimmer use?

29 parts, built around the BT136X-600,127 and MOC3021M. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Dimmer KiCad files?

From the kiall/esp8266-dimmer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/dimmer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Dimmer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kiall before reusing the design.
