The code is partly taken from:
This is very simple code to use photoresistor (LDR) with Arduino.
In a "void setup()" the code read the the input and creates empirically two level (max and min), where "min" is simply smaller at will.
So in the "void loop()" the code reads the input and compares it with the min and max, if have checked new values of min or max updates them;
Obviously there are some prints into serial output to have a fedback of the changes into code.
Finally I have added a button to close the circuit to configure the code with the real maximum possible value into input, this is optional ad is usefull only for testing.
- 10k resistor, or a numbers of resistors to make 10K ohm
- is not very important that resistor is exactly 10k ohm, but you can change value based to the sensibility you want have. In example if you are in a room with very strong light you can use more of 10k ohm
- photoresistor
- button (optional)
