Light Dependant Resistors


A light dependant resistor (LDR), is an analogue sensor which detects light and changes resistance accordingly. Versions can be bought where the resistance either increases with light, or dark.
They would work in this project by detecting the contrast between the light background and the dark strip the buggy hass to follow.

Typical dimensions are shown on the diagram.
