Experiment 7: Light Control of LED Switch

Photoresistor is a special resistor, it referred to light resistance also , and its resistance related to the intensity of light directly; light intensity increases, the resistance reduction; light intensity decreases, the resistance increases.

Here, we take a look at using the photoresistor to make a LED light control switch.

int photoresistancePin = 0;
int ledPin = 11;
int val = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
val = analogRead(photoresistancePin);
if(val<=40){
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
else{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}
}
