PhotoResistor with LM393 Comparator

Introduction to PhotoResistor with LM393 Comparator We’re going to set up a PhotoResistor with LM393 Comparator circuit in this post. This would be a typical use for a comparator such as the LM393. Basically, almost anytime we need a discrete (on/off) condition that we base on a variable voltage, we Read More »
