Automatic Lighting – Well, almost ;-)

Anita8 years ago8 years ago06 mins

Creating a simple connection between an LED and a light sensitive resistor. In this tutorial, I’ll use two inexpensive components (a LED and a Light Resistor) and create two circuits which will work together thanks to an Arduino. You will need: Breadboard LED LDR (Light Resistor) 5 x Jumper Cables 1 x 220ohm Resistor 1…
