 h1. AC Control 

 # TRIACs: Low cost, high current handling capability.  
 # Traditional relay: moving parts, relatively low cost, very high current 
 # Solid State Relay: Higher cost, no moving parts. Advantage over TRIACs is that SSR can interrupt current at any point in the AC waveform. TRIACs only cut off current at the zero-crossing point. 

 h1. DC Control 

 


 h1. Stepper Motor Control
