The Attiny85 is a nice little 8 pin chip which is ideal for simple projects, they are low cost and if you have an Arduino you can actually burn the bootloader and upload your sketches to the microcontroller, this is perfect for beginners. I recommend buying one of the cheap Arduino Uno clones for this task and using it for this purpose. To program the ATtiny85 we need to first set Arduino Uno as an ISP. Connect your Arduino Uno to the PC. Open the Arduino IDE and open the ArduinoISP example file (File -> Examples ->…

The KY-018 Photo resistor module consists of an LDR A photoresistor (or light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photocell) is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. A photoresistor can be applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, and light- and dark-activated switching circuits. A photoresistor is made of a high resistance semiconductor. In the dark, a photoresistor can have a resistance as…
