<font size="50">Starting with Arduino programming</font>

Here is my start on arduino programming, I made this with a help of one of my best friends, and then remade it on my own.

Tip: if you are doing this first time, then pick an easier project that you can find in the arduino software library. or if using Sparkfun set like I did, go through the basic project provided by it.

== <font size="50">The Wiring & board</font> ==
The wiring is quite simple once you understand the connection layout on the breadboard and the pins on the arduino board

== <font size="50">The light detector and emitter!</font> ==
This program uses a photo resistor (also known as light resistor) to control the led lights, the photo resistor detects the light and resists accordingly and then I have four Leds for the resisting output of the photo resistor

== <font size="50">The function</font> ==
here you can see how it works. when I put my finger closer it blocks more light to the light detector

== <font size="50">The code</font> ==
I used the Arduino program and here you can see the code. you can see the life feedback of the light resistor in the smaller window, the data goes from 0 to 5, (0 being total brightness and 5 darkness)
