// STEP 1 Define pins
// Photocell pin definition
int photoCellPin = A0;
// Potentiometer pin definition
int potPin = A5;
// LED pin definition
int ledPin = D2;
// STEP 2 Define variables
// Light reading variable
int photoCellReading = 0;
// potentiometer reading variable
int potReading = 0;
// LED brightness reading variable
int ledBrightness = 0;
// STEP 3 Setup
void setup()
{
// Set up the LED for output
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// Create a cloud variable of type integer called 'light' mapped to photoCellReading
Particle.variable("light", &photoCellReading, INT);
// Create a cloud variable of type integer called 'potReading'
Particle.variable("potReading", potReading);
}
// STEP 4 Creating a loop()
void loop()
{
// Use analogRead to read the photo cell reading w value 0 to 4095
photoCellReading = analogRead(photoCellPin);
// Use analogRead to read the pentiometer reading
potReading = map(analogRead(potPin), 0,4095, 0, 255);
// Map this value into the PWM range (0-255) and store as the led brightness
ledBrightness = map(photoCellReading, 0, 4095, 0, 255);
// fade the LED to the desired brightness
if(photoCellReading < 2000) {
analogWrite(ledPin, potReading);
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
delay(100);
