#REDIRECT [[Light-Dependent Resistors]]
An LDR is a light-dependent resistor. It changes it's resistance depending on the light falling onto the LDR.

This makes Pin 34 an analog input and set it to 12 bit. It reads the analog value every second and print it to the console.

#Example usage for ESP32
from machine import Pin, ADC

analogPin.atten(ADC.ATTN_11DB)
 
while True:
  analogVal = analogPin.read()
