// Use the RGB Display and the Light Sensor
|
|
// In this example, we print the value of the light sensor on the RGB Display
|
|
// and change the color of the RGB display based on the value of the light sensor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
// The GrovePi connects the Raspberry Pi and Grove sensors.
|
|
// You can learn more about GrovePi here: http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi
|
|
|
|
// This example combines the GrovePi + Light Sensor + RGB Display

// Hardware Setup:
|
|
// Connect the Light Sensor to Analog Port 1.
|
|
// Connect the RGB Display to any I2C Port.
