the Lx sensor (cool pro way of saying light) is located about 3mm away from the
cell.
as of last night I had it scan the board and beep once or twice or not at all
depending on chip colour. it seemed to work.
I wrote of a simple 3 lines of code ( 3 if's) that manage to "catch" all the raw
#'s.
in my basement I have one (poor) florescent overhead light, and a 40W desk light.
with this setup, with EVERY cell filled with same chip colour, I will get vastly
different readings.
but as of right now it's back to "working"
I'm sure when I get to the library it will need MUCH tweaking.
Merry Christmas.
Chris
