AC Light Dimmer Arduino Code

This Arduino sketch uses buttons and a timer interrupt to control the dimming level of an AC light. It sets the dimming level based on the buttons, uses a timer interrupt to check if it's time to turn the light on each cycle, and turns the light on by sending a signal to the TRIAC. The light's brightness is varied through phase control by adjusting the trigger point within each AC cycle.
