Turn On and Off LED by LDR (Toggle LDR)

Turn On and Off LED by LDR (Toggle LDR)

This example demonstrates how to use LDR as a switch; each time you cover the LDR, the LED is turned on (if it's off), and off (if it's on).

About this project

Overview

This example demonstrates the use of a LDR as a switch. Each time you cover the photocell, the LED (or whatever) is turned on (if it's off) or off (if it's on).

Code

Toggle LDRArduino
const int lamp = 7;
boolean x = true;
.
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(lamp , OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {
  int c = analogRead(A0);
  delay(500);
if ( c<300 && x == true){
  digitalWrite(7,HIGH);
   x = false;
   delay(1000);

}
else if ( c <300 && x == false){
x = true;
digitalWrite(7,LOW);
delay(1000);
}
}
