This page describes how to connect up the various Renard controllers that have been made available for others to build.

The Renard controllers fall into two basic categories. Some controllers have SSRs included on the controller PCB, and are connected directly to the AC power lines and to the AC load (lights, usually). Other controllers work with separate SSRs, and are not directly connected to the AC power line (except maybe to supply a zero-crossing signal).
