Re: Triac instead of relay ?
I dunno. If I recall correctly, a DC signal should work just fine. You just won't be using one of the quadrants that "every other Joe" usually uses (the negative MT/negative gate). You'd be using the

Re: Triac instead of relay ?
that means if you apply a dc current to the gate (higher than trigger current in all quadrants) the triac will be on all the time, throughout the full sine wave? in which magnitude should one expect

Re: Triac instead of relay ?
This is correct. However a triac _will_ have different sensitivity in different "quadrants" (the term that the datasheet will used to refer to the different combinations of gate polarity and other

Re: Triac instead of relay ?
it only needs to be a pulse, it is sayd the optimum is a pulse chain for best triggering but it can be a continous signal too. I'm not entirely sure if the pulse can be both polarities or only the one

Triac instead of relay ?
I'm considering using triacs to switch 110VAC instead of relays. Never used triacs before though and I want to double check my understanding. First thing is gate signal. This is AC, not DC correct?

Re: Triac instead of relay ?
The quadrant thing refers to the gate sensitivity differences between the "forward SCR with a positive trigger", the "forward SCR with a negative trigger", the "reverse SCR with a positive trigger"

Re: A3977 Stepper driver (finally) updated.
Actually, I just realized. Using E-Stop to cut ALL power to the driver is probably a bad idea. The A3977 needs power to handle the stepper motor deceleration (Back EMF). If I just cut all power I'll
