    Default Perhaps add more check to the sensor

    Look at the circuit I posted here
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...4777#post84777

    You can actually add this functionality to to a PIC timer (one that acts as a timer using timer0 and/or timer1) and does not use an RTC , your choice though).
    By adding the timer to it you could do something like :
    Code:
    IF daylight AND time is daytime THEN motor_pin OFF
    You could also go on to add things like a temperature controller and humidity sensor.
    All of these combined could determine whether it is dark outside because of rain or a storm or a passing aeroplane or bird or insect on the sendor :-)

    So our light sensor becomes quite a smart device.

    Anyways , just a thought :-)

    Kind regards
