Hi I have recently modified my Poppery I to be controlled by the Ardunio Uno/TC4 by following the linked Instructable as closely as possible. The fan motor is connected to a "Crydom D2425-10" SSR. When I use software to turn down the fan motor it simply shuts on and off frequently instead of actually slowing the motor. Is slowing the motor possible? If so do i have the wrong SSR or is there something I should change with the wiring? Thanks in advance! https://www.instr...-an-Air-Po/ |

An SSR turns things on and off by definition. I use a light dimmer (Westek 6077B 200-Watt Manual Dimmer) on the fan side. The fan diode wants to see about 25VAC so you should use a transformer to bring down the 115VAC. A 115/24 transformer as on Amazon for $10 or so for HVAC use only delivers about .5 amp to the fan. I just bought a 115/44 (Hammond Mfg 166J44) which should double the current. pricey at $40 and probably unnecessary. the 115/24 works good enough. |

thanks for the info and answer! so it sounds like manual is the way to go. is there any kind of dimmer that would be able to hook up and adjust from the artisan software? I like that aspect of the SSR but thats it |
