Have you consider using Cds(Cadmium Sulfide) cells from Radio Shack? They are
among the easiest of all light sensors to interface to the Handy Board and the
interface itself is pretty much straightforward. All it is a a variable

I've tried a pack I picked up at Radio Shack and they worked easy enough.
However, the ones I tried were only responding with the range 10-110 or so when
testing the port with analog(x) in different light from dark to bright.
However, an infrared phototransistor responded from 10 to 240, so I was hoping
I could buy a bunch of them in bulk. I sent a message to check and make sure
that that specific DigiKey part was equivalent to the one I got from Radio
Shack.
