Project: Building a light meter (1)

This is the first project I have started. Nothing to fancy, but something fun to do. Goal is to build a light meter, which measures the amount of light in the environment. It outputs the amount of light by lighting LEDs. The more light, the more LEDs will be lit. We will measure the amount of light with a LDR component.

The key component will be the PICAXE. This is a programmable IC (PIC) for low-end purposes. During the project we will be learning:

- How to use a LDR component
- How to program a PICAXE
- How to build the light meter
