WIFI PICUS: first project in Mexico WINS a free starter kit!
Our follower Alejandro from Mexico won one of the first starter kits that will be available around 15th May.
His project consist of a controlled rectifier that he’ll interface with PICUS module to enable wireless control of the system using a PC or a smartphone by Wi-Fi
Here are the doc that Alejandro sent us, the project name is CANIS LUPUS 
he will also send us updates of project to share with the community
GOOD LUCK ALEJANDRO! 
I don’t understand…can explain more?
Thanks Picus!
@iw4epo:
Main idea is to “cut” voltage by using SCRs inside a scr/diode bridge. SCR are activated with delays according to alfa in equation 1.1.
By doing this, you can make an integral from a reduced wave that comes from original input AC.
And so to have a controlled average voltage.
Let me make math demostration, and look for references in books that will speak better than me.
Nice day!
Hi Folks! It seems a good idea… WiFiPicus could became the hardware backbone for this kind of projects:

open wireless mesh networks…
Hi G.F.! welcome to our blog and project. We can discuss around your Ninux, I read your blog and it’s preatty interesting a cooperation

I have a link to the book in spanish:

And this theme is in page: 469.
If someone find the book in english it would be perfect!
Nice day!
