Day 6 - Using AC Powered Components

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."
- Nikola Tesla

So far, we have been working with DC powered devices. This chapter of the crash-course book will introduce us to the fundamentals of interfacing and controlling AC powered electrical devices with the Arduino platform.

This topic was specifically chosen for a wholesome completeness of the ten-day crash-course challenge that the book offered and you bravely undertook. We have surely come a long way since blinking that LED on the first day!

You will learn the following topics in this chapter:
