Challenge 3-2 Solution
Placing the photoresistor on the Vdd side of the potentiometer modifies the circuit for a
darkroom sensor. When more light falls on it, the resistance decreases dropping more
voltage across the bottom half causing voltage to increase. The potentiometer must again
be adjusted for the desired light/dark threshold in the darkroom.
Challenge 3-3 Solution
1. The circuit in the figure is termed Active-Low because when the button is
2. A pull-up resistor used to keep the input high (up = high) when the switch is not
3. Your circuit should look like Figure 3-26. Pressing the button after reconfiguring
pressed (active) a connection is made to Vdd.
