Photocell

This is lab 8 of 39 in the course
In this project, students will learn the photocell principles of operation, measure photocell resistance, and size a voltage-divider resistor for the best measurement sensitivity and range. Students will complete activities that will demonstrate component operation and interface theory, so that they can use photocells in integrated projects. In these activities, students will follow steps to demonstrate correct operation of the photocell, watch videos involving theory, and participate in a short activity after each video.
