Connecting photoresistors to MIDISense ADIO board

Postby SoundTree » Mon Jan 26, 2009 4:09 am

When using photoresistors with the MIDISense ADIO board is there a preferred way to hookup to the analog input connections AN1 through AN6?
On the schematic it shows pin 1 to be ground, pin 2 to be +5V and pin 3 to be Vcc.
So I have tried using the photocells going from pin 1 to pin 2 and this works but I find the photocells to have a limited response range visually as shown when doing the calibration. I have added fixed resistors across pin 2 and 3 and I find that I get a larger response range. Is this right?

but on the site of ladyada it says
"Use this with the resistive sensor board."

did you connect it to the ADIO sensor board ??
is that working good ?
