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.
Great video, if your light sensor is still not working. Try changing your ‘ if ‘ statement. As 300 is working here it doesn’t always work for everyone. Mine was 5

hello, i have a question regarding the resistance value. why 10kohm and 220ohm is chosen instead of others value? is there a reason for these? if yes, are they any formula to prove so? looking forward for your reply.
source code= //set pin numbers //const won't change const int ledPin = 13; //the number of the LED pin const int ldrPin = A0; //the number of the LDR pin
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); //initialize the LED pin as an output pinMode(ldrPin, INPUT); //initialize the LDR pin as an input } void loop() { int ldrStatus = analogRead(ldrPin); //read the status of the LDR value //check if the LDR status is
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?
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
Thank you very much for this project. Could you put a video that when the ldr does not detect light, and the sound detection detects sound, then the led lights up. But if the ldr detects light, and the sound detection sensor detects sound, then the led does not light up.
is there any diffrence btw programming an arduino uno & Leronardo !cuz i wanna try the same thing but with the leanardo arduino ! & why do we need an arduino to do this in the first place .. ?
I followed your exact sketch and cross checked the connections. I can't find out the problem. When I check the serial monitor, all I see are senseless symbols. Please help
Why did you choose 300 for working rate of LDR? Tell some info about the working principle on Arduino codes? why did you plug a cable in A0 pin? Say sth. about the LDR and Resistor section over board.
Question: I noticed the rate at which the serial port was displaying the output was pretty quick. Can this rate of reading the LDR values be increased with a higher baud rate?
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.
Its a great and helpful tutorial, thank you! but what if I want to add 13 more 4.5 lumens of LEDs to the construction to make it brighter? Do you mind helping me how the construction is going to be like? For eg. how many more resistors do I need to add and what are the values for each resistor? Your help and response would be more appreciated!
We tried and the LED did not light up but gave the line Serial.println. Then I changed the ldr status to 1023 and the LED stayed on. Any thoughts as to why?
Hi. I just found about this amazing video po of yours. Can I ask po why is it 300? The reason I ask is, the first time I run the program using ldr, the monitor prints.. 1023.. what is the difference between putting 300 and 1023 in the condition? sorry for the disturbance sir.
uh, I think i made something wrong but, I have no idea what it is. Pls help (I'm trying to control two LEDs at the same time) //set pin numbers //constant won't change const int ledPin = 13;//the number of the LED pin const int ledPin_2 = 10; // the number of the second LED pin const int ldrPin = A0; //the number of the LDR pin void setup () { Serial.begin (9600); pinMode (ledpin, OUTPUT); //initialize the LED pin as an output pinMode (ledPin_2, OUTPUT); //initialize the second LED as an output pinMode (ldrpin, INPUT); //initialize the LDR pin as an input } void loop (){ int ldrStatus = analogRead (ldrPin); //read the status of the LDR value //check if the LDR status is
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);
It'll probably have some kind of trouble determining if it's dark or light, so then every little light beacon will trigger the LDR. Try to do this in a lighter space.

analog pins divide 5 into 1024. and according to the input voltage ,it shows you some results(numbers).

what is logic behind (ldr status
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);
//Here's the Code:
const int ledPin = 13;
const int ldrPin = A0;

Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ldrPin, INPUT);

why we need 10kohm resistor before go to GND? anyone can explain to me? tks
I wondered about the same thing. Isn't it useless?
tks god :D there is someone think like me
its because actually electrons are moving from negative to positive pole
the same for the LED right? we should put a resistor before going to GND... i think so
sometimes i see them put a resistor form 5V -> resistor -> positive pole of the LED :/
