This covers a very configurable and more complex variant of measuring brightness and turning on LEDs.If you are looking for a more basic variant: It all began with a LDR and curiosity. The result is a night light for a ESP8266 like D1 Mini or Raspberry Pi Pico (W) which compensates darkness with many configurable…
This is a continuation of Is it dark yet ? – Measuring brightness with LDR on Pi Pico (W) and ESP8266 (D1 Mini & NodeMCU v3) in MicroPython, but concentrating on a fast and clean code rather than how to use a LDR with MicroControllers in principle. What you need: D1 mini or a similar…
Materials you need for this: LDRs (I am using 5528), breadboard, jumper wires, resistor (I used 56k) and a 5V power supply. The MicroPython code has been written for and tested on Pi Pico, Pi Pico W, D1 Mini and NodeMCU v3 ESP8266 .I bought it at berrybase.de and az-delivery.de (not referral links). The microcontrollers…
