Let's Begin

Case studies:
Design an automatic light switch controller.
Auto OFF during the day Auto ON at night

Photocell (LDR) Circuit
Vin = 3.3V
The brightness level relates to Vsense and Rphotocell
as follows:
R 2.2KOhm
Vsense = Vin * Rphotocell / (Rphotocell+2200)
Photocell (LDR) resistance

Rphotocell varies as a
function of brightness.

Warning!!!
FiO Boards ADC only accepts between 0 - 3.3V DC.

Higher voltages will cause permanent damages to the system.

Commonly Used Steps Before Build
• Update Diagram Twice:

Check sample time (Ts) of all blocks are
correct.
• Set target in USB IAP Mode:

Use request_productinfo('usb', 'name')
command
