Title: CdS Photoresistors
Post by: xCyclone on May 31, 2009, 07:23:17 AM

I am building the 50 dollar robot and I have read the tutorial and everything but it doesn't state how to hook up the photoresistors to sense light and guide the robot.  How do I hook it up?

Good morning.

The photoresistors plug into pins 27 and 28 of the MCU. They also get power and ground. Here is the link with instructions on putting the sensors together. http://www.societyofrobots.com/schematics_photoresistor.shtml (http://www.societyofrobots.com/schematics_photoresistor.shtml). I recommend reading the wire connector tutorial and putting connectors on the ends. It will make things easier for you in the long run.

Good Luck
