The key to solving this problem is to insert an
whether the photoresistor reading is above some threshold value. If it is, flash
the LED. The threshold value can be found by running TestPhotoresistor.bs2
and observing the readings. Note the difference between an unshaded and a
shaded value. Take a value somewhere in the middle and use that for your
threshold. In the solution shown, the threshold value was encoded in a constant
named
' What's a Microcontroller - Ch07Prj01_PhotoresistorFlasher.bs2
' Make LED on P14 flash whenever a shadow is cast over
' the photoresistor.
