fading 240v lights in vivarium (Safe method)

-

so have terrarium setup snake.

the electrical setup snake includes day glo , night glo bulbs. simulate more realistic environment wanted able fade these bulbs @ set times. idea being following:

745am sunglo bulb begins fade on
745am nightglo bulb begins fade off
8am sunglow bulb reaches full on
8am nightglo bulb reaches full off

745pm sunglo bulb begins fade off
745pm nightglo bulb begins fade on
8pm sunglo bulb off
8pm nightglo bulb on


now understand rather sevear dangers 240v mains power , 5/9/12v home made circuits, , i've noticed few threads here controlling mains lights fading had solution may not clean solutions things vivariums, terrariums ect ideal solution need awesome community.

basically, programming arduino or ic control 2 servos. these servos hooked dimmer switches you'd put on wall link bar, servo turns, rotates dimmer dial.

the programming servo , effective clock. i'd rather run servos off arduino (uno) rather program ic or something. way can have contained in 3 single boxes cleaner look.

where starting point project? i've looked on tutorial material servo control makes no sense me :(

hello everyone, name kedi.. make system connecting raspberry pi 2 , arduino uno arduino adc of 1 dust sensor sharp gp2y1010au0f , 4 gas sensor. want show decision of air quality system in running text @ p10 16x32 led dot matrix display. in raspberry pi 2, connect p10 pins in gpio25, gpio12, gpio16, gpio13 & gpio26. now, i'm finish circuit , don't know must connect p10's vcc & ground (red & black wire). can me? , code in python controlling p10(1r)-v706 dot matrix?.. regards, kedi i can't python code (did mine in basic on risc os) regarding power, panels each require 2.5a, you'll need separate supply them. if attempted power them pi, pi's polyfuse blow immediately. alternatively, use supply capable of giving 10a supply both panels , pi. raspberrypi

RC Receiver into Arduino as PC Controller (UnoJoy)

my plan take rc car transmitter & receiver connect receiver arduino , convert raw data on pwm 2 channels usable joystick can use on pc play vrc pro (virtual rc pro). however i'm trying troubleshoot why arduino jumping around when set joystick using unojoy . current code this. code: [select] #include "unojoy.h" const int numreadings = 16; int ch1index = 0; int ch2index = 0; int ch1t = 0; //channel 1 total int ch2t = 0; //channel 2 total int ch1a = 0; //channel 1 average int ch2a = 0; //channel 2 average int ch1raw[numreadings]; //raw ch1 data int ch2raw[numreadings]; //raw ch2 data int ch1 = 0; //final ammount /255 int ch2 = 0; //same ch2 void setup(){   setuppins();   setupunojoy();   (int ch1read = 0; ch1read < numreadings; ch1read++)     ch1raw[ch1read] = 0;   (int ch2read = 0; ch2read < numreadings; ch2read++)     ch2raw[ch2read] = 0; } void loop(){   // getting fresh data   dataforcontroller_t contr...
