Project 17, The Photo Resistor (RP) or Light Dependent Resistor

RP is an example of an analogue sensor that drops from a very high resistance to a low resistance

as light is increased. It is connected between the micro-controller input pin 2 and ground. A 100k

resistor from B+ to pin 2 allows the voltage on pin 2 to rise when it is dark and fall when there is light on
RP. Build the snap circuit shown here.
