Hi,

How do you get Lux from the LDR?

What kind of calibration procedure did you use?

Thanks

It is interesting and well written but appears to be the same as this project entered in another contest: https://www.instructables.com/id/Solar-Panel-Monitoring-Using-Particle-Photon/

You should disclose this in your entry.

I did a cursory look at the project and my inconsistency bell went off.

I try and ignore the alarm most times because I do get false positives that lead no wear. This is not intended to be nit-picky. It has to do with the flow of information. Your picture at the top and picture at the bottom, I assume are two different orientations for the same breadboard. The bread board layout image doesn't align with either picture.

I saw the light in the top picture and looked to the breadboard image to uncover its purpose and then got side tracked by another picture without the light. After some twisting and turned and extrapolating I venture to guess it is the USB TTL.

I am a visual learner. Concrete Sequential is what Briggs-Meyiers scores it. At times it is a curse, especially if an instructor is Abstract Random. You can leave a lecture hall feeling like the dumbest student in the quad.

You no doubt have seen the information for your project a thousand times. You may have even had it in a dream. Others have not. Eleven years in one career depended on identifying inconsistencies. We called it raining aluminum if things went south. Inconsistencies can be a primary indicator that something is just not right. In this case it was only a detractor.

Great read. Was the project something independent or was it linked to a educational program (i.e. credit in my university course.)

Very useful project, Ruchir. I haven't come across the Particle Photon before; it looks like a very powerful board.

Thanks for sharing
