Photoresistance Library for MicroBlocks

Welcome to the Photoresistance Library for MicroBlocks!
This library makes it easy for anyone—even if you don’t know how to code or use a computer much—to control a Photoresistance using simple blocks in MicroBlocks.

Features

Easy drag-and-drop blocks for controlling your Photoresistance
No coding required
Turn on & off the Photoresistance
Control the notes
Beginner-friendly instructions

Getting Started

What you need:

Spark microcontroller and connecting wires
MicroBlocks IDE installed (Download here)
A Photoresistance and basic connecting wires

Installation

Download the Photoresistance Library:
Download the library file from here.
Open MicroBlocks IDE on your computer.
Add the Library:
- Go to the library manager in MicroBlocks.
- Click “Import Library” or drag and drop the downloaded file into the IDE.

How to Use

Connect your Photoresistance to your microcontroller’s pins (see your board’s pinout for details).
Open MicroBlocks IDE and make sure your board is connected.
Find the Photoresistance blocks in the blocks menu.
Drag the blocks you want to use into your script area.
- For example:
- “Set Pin Value
- Turn Photoresistance On and Off
- Turn Inverted Photoresistance On and Off"
Click the green flag or “Run” to start controlling your Photoresistance!

Example Project

You can use the reading from the photoresistor as an input value for any output.

Have fun building with your photoresistance!
