    please help me, this circuit work for inductive loads? like CFL?
    how technique to drive triac?in positive cycle, after cross zero detect, AVR trigger triac by drive logic 1 (+5v)? and how if negative cycle?

    for electronic experience is awesome…

    circuit is no different than any other triac dimmer circuit, means it won’t dim CFL’s. You may be able to control some CFL’s On/Off (that is no dimming) but it depends on the CFL. The triac only gets triggered by the avr, then the triac latches itself on due to the current through the triac. Most of the CFL’s won’t pull enough current all the time to keep the triac latched so you’ll get strange flickering or the CFL may not even turn on.
