4.10.3 Build the Circuit
A photoresistor or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with
increasing incident light intensity.
Build the circuit according to the following diagram.
Connect one end of the photoresistor to 5V, the other end to pin35, and connect a 10K resistor in series with GND at
this end.
So when the light intensity increases, the resistance of a photoresistor decreases, the voltage division of the 10K resistor
increases, and the value obtained by pin35 becomes larger.
