    For those like me who have had trouble making this work, this might be because your LDR is calibrated differently from the one in the video. To fix this issue, try replacing the "300" with other values until it works.

  • @caseylocke4474
    @caseylocke4474 6 лет назад +7

    I have watched EVERY SINGLE photoresistor & arduino video on RUclips up through the first 30 results. Not only have I not found a SINGLE video that explains the need for the fixed resistor (what they are calling a "voltage divider," but at least one person in every video asks that question in the comments section and never gets an answer. I am extremely frustrated because I cannot find this information ANYWHERE. Why can't you just connect one leg of the photoresistor to +5V and the other leg to A0 and measure the output voltage (and therefore light level) directly?

    • @hesamakbari4314
      @hesamakbari4314 5 лет назад +1

      dude resistors don't change voltage, they change the current and with the fact that LDR is a resistor, you can't do that. that is why you will need a voltage divider circuit

    • @paulraymond1804
      @paulraymond1804 5 лет назад

      I don't think so. But why would you want it to display quicker than that? The reading doesn't need to be any where near that fast for a working project anyway.
      I will be building this to control the lights around my building every day, and it will read the light levels just once per minute, and only turn the lights on if the light level has been below the threshold for the last five or ten minutes. Likewise with turning the lights off.

      @victor7777 7 лет назад +3

      The LDR sends values to arduino from 0 to 1023, being 0 a state of complete darkness and 1023 the maximum brightness. Therefore anything below 300 is considered dark enough in this case, but you can set the range higher or lower. If you want to see in the serial monitor the values that the LDR is registering you can add this line to the code:
      Serial.println(ldrStatus);
