SUMMARY
This chapter introduced a second way to use the
light levels with a photoresistor. Like the potentiometer, the photoresistor is a variable
resistor. Unlike the potentiometer, the photoresistor’s resistance changes with light levels
instead of with position.
measurements, and methods for recording and interpreting graphical data were
introduced. The
and from the BASIC Stamp module’s EEPROM. The EEPROM was then used in an RC-
time data logging application. In this chapter’s last activity, a light meter application was
developed. This application used subroutines to perform the three different jobs required
for the light meter to function.
