Al,
The PIC is on an EasyPIC5 development board, but basically this is the schematic. I've also tried replacing the LDR with a 10k pot and whilst the LED on the dev board dims in brightness the threshold values still have the same effect. Placing the LDR between +5 and GPIO.0 gives a better range of brightness in the LED (not shown in the schematic) from off when the LDR is covered, to bright when an LED torch is placed directly over the LDR.
I don't program much, so often feel like a newbie when I dust off the development board, and ADC is something I've only once played with. As far as I can understand, the voltage on GPIO.0 should be converted into a byte value between 0 and 254, so I could set the threshold at which point GPIO.4 is made high ?
