the absence of light, its resistance
increases dramatically. In this case due to
the analog input photocell is connected to
its range is between 0 and 1023.
BlackBox blinds
To set light intensity simple single
blind controlled by servomotor is
adopted. As we can see on the photograph
round blind half transparent half black
servomotor.
BlackBox chasing
Housing itself is built in the same
manner as main chasing. 3mm black plexi
plates with no light permeability used to construct bottom and walls of the box prevent
photocell from receiving any signal when blind is closed. The top cover of the box is made
of the transparent plexi painted black without semicircle in the middle. It is attached by
four screws, one in each corner.
Inside, in the corner, there
are two sets of sockets. Double pin
to connect the photocell and triple
to connect the servomotor. As
photocell is symmetrical it does not
matter how we connect the plug.
However servomotor pins are
marked with appropriate
colors(black for ground, red for
positive supply and yellow for
control signal) to connect it
properly. It is important to go by
colors because connecting
