    Wink not a so simple design ...

    Hi, Steve

    As a 0-100 scale is expected, ... RCTime function could do it.

    Buuuut, the problem is light scale ... it's a logarithmic scale !!!

    Sooo.... the input scale must be 0 - 10 000 !!! ( which is the A/D to use, Then ???? )

    I think a design around a CA3089 ( or with log response: FM IF systems w/signal stenght indicator make good sonometers ...) could do it easily.

    here, a modular 3 1/2 digit std voltmeter could be enough ... as the CA3161/3162 are ... out of my purse !!!

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Default

    log scale? Could be. Use a VCA (SSM2164 & pals), set a fix voltage at the input, place the LDR at the voltage control... now it's close to be LOG scaled

    OR Lookup tables OR some maths Or maybe there's some Log LDR?... I don't know and we don't have many parameter of this project so... HeeeeHaaa let's shed some tons of different ways

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
