arduino - Dimmer to bulb control


I need to control a bulb of 220V, with different intensity light levels. I've an Arduino Uno Board, which receives a variable voltage from a Light-to-voltage converter (TSL12S) (Like a photoresistance).


Depending of the received voltage in the Arduino board, I need to vary the light intensity of the bulb.


The output of the board is PWM, so I think that I need to connect to a DIMMER.


How to connect the PWM output to a Dimmer, and how to control the bulb with this? I've been looking for Dimmers in order to connect this, but all the dimmers that i've seen have a potentiometer to regulate this, and I need to regulate with the PWM output from Arduino.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
