... This is the third installment of The LDR Array for Measuring Light Intensity Project. I got another 10 LDRs. I should have asked more but the other listed items made my budget short. Anyway, 10 plus 2 = 12, 12 LDRs for

made my budget short. Anyway, 10 plus 2 = 12, 12 LDRs for tinkering. I modified the sketch for reading single LDR. I replicated some commands so it read and print six LDR readings on serial monitor. Then added additional task to compute the average of the readings.

19 320 20 285 Some consecutive readings have very slight differences. It maybe an indication that more LDRs even if randomly picked maybe used to accurately measure light intensity.
