Arduino LDR/Photoresistor and LED Based Light Meter

These projects are good for the beginners to learn basic things. We are showing a basic light meter, you’ll try to add a push button to start and another push button to stop. In previous articles we have shown how to create basic sound meter with microphone and Arduino. That circuit was slightly difficult. LDR aka Photoresistors are more easy electronic component. Indeed, you can directly use a LDR/Photoresistor with an LED without any microcontroller or IC. Obviously, we can build Arduino LDR/Photoresistor and LED based light meter too. Instead of multiple LED, we can use LED bar display which is nothing but just some LED inside a modular kit. We have borrowed the project from one Fritzing project. Basic usage of LDR with Arduino shown on official website, which is great to get started  :
