My UNO and accessories have arrived.
For testing I was wondering if I could connect a LDR to the prototype shield and have an LCD display its resistance to calibrate at what light intensity to operate the servo? If that's possible could anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial to output the reading from an LDR to an LCD?
I think I want to sketch to run along the lines of
Detect "night" or "day" every 5 minutes. If its day for 3 consecutive checks, open the door. If its night for 3 consequtive checks, close the door.
Then a button to toggle between Open, Close and Automatic.
I've never done any electronics before so I appreciate any help and advice.
