Web-based light dimmer
Here it is a short teaser to show the concept of the project. Roadmap, step by step:
1) starting from very low level electronics: TRIACs, SSRs and dimmers
2) going up to the micro-controller firmware to handle real-time smoothing of the mains waveform
3) going to up to a simple RESTful embedded web-server on Linux/Android
4) going up to a modern and nice looking HTML UI based on Polymer
