How does the LDR (photoresistor) works. The resistance is very high in darkness, almost high as 1MΩ but when there is light that falls on the LDR, the resistance is falling down to a few KΩ (10-20kΩ @ ...

In that case, this Arduino-based smart light might be more your cup of tea. The idea behind this project is to build a lightbulb controller using a light-dependent resistor (LDR).

The circuit is infact a dark activated switch measures the ambient light level and will enable the system only when ambient light level is below a threshold value. Here an LDR (Light Dependent ...

In order to accomplish this, [Bas] is using a light-dependent resistor and a pull-up resistor to create a resistance bridge, which is then connected to an analog input pin on a Raspberry Pi Pico.

+ So at first glance we were thinking there wasn’t much special about this clock. It’s based on an Arduino and displays the time using a character LCD screen. But then we realized that … ...

In a potential divider, you have two resistors connected in series. One of these resistors can be a variable resistor, like an LDR (light dependent resistor) or a thermistor ...

The resistors in a potential divider can have fixed values, or one may be a variable component like an LDR (light dependent resistor) or a thermistor.
