Modul 6: Analog Input Photoresistor

The document discusses using a photoresistor (light-dependent resistor) for analog input in Arduino. It provides examples of reading photoresistor values, using them to turn an LED on or off, and toggling an LED based on light levels measured by the photoresistor. Sketches with sample code are provided to demonstrate reading photoresistor values and using them to control an LED.

Analog Input – Photoresistor

A photoresistor or photocell is a light-controlled variable


resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with
increasing incident light intensity. A photoresistor can be
applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, and light- and
dark-activated switching circuits. It's also called light-
dependent resistor (LDR).

Analog Input - Practice

Uses a photo
resistor to
determine
whether a room
is bright,
average or dark.
It shows this
using 2 LEDs
and/or the serial
monitor.

int light = 0; else if(light > 229 && light < 451) {
Serial.println("It is average light!");
void setup() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
Serial.begin(9600); digitalWrite(12,LOW);
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); }
pinMode(12, OUTPUT); else {
} Serial.println("It is pretty dark!");
digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
void loop() { digitalWrite(12,HIGH);
light = analogRead(A0); }
Serial.println(light); delay(1000);
}
if(light > 450) {
Serial.println("It is quite
light!");
digitalWrite(13,LOW);
digitalWrite(12,LOW);
}
