Hello group,
I wonder if anyone had any thoughts, musings, or otherwise, regarding this little project.
What I want to do is flash an incandescent lamp at a low rate, say 1Hz or possibly even slower. That doesn't seem too difficult-- maybe just drive an SCR/Thyristor/Triac with an oscillator?
BUT... I don't want to bang the lamp on and off. I want the lamp to slowly ramp up to brightness, then slowly ramp down.
Do you think this would be some kind of combination of an oscillator and a dimmer circuit? Or...?
Thanks for any input!
