In this project, Arduino will send the analog readings obtained from a Photo Resistor, also known as a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), to the computer.

Parts required:

• PhotoCell (or PhotoResistor)
• 10K resistor
• Breadboard
• Arduino UNO
• 5 wires(to connect it all together)

/// Code to run in Arduino
int LED = 2; // LED on PWM pin
int LDR = 0; // analog pin light sensor
int brightness = 0;

void setup() {
pinMode(LED,OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {

LDR = analogRead(A0); // read value from sensor

Serial.println(LDR); // print out the value you read

analogWrite(LED, LDR/4); // assigning the LED sensor value to 1/4 of the LDR value

delay(1); // delay in between reads for stability
}
