Reading a light sensor and set an LED intensity accordingly by BARRAGAN http://barraganstudio.com
Reads values from a photoresistor connected to the analog input pin 0. The value read from the sensor is proportional to the ambient light. This value is used to set an LED brightness to more ambient light less LED brightness. The LED is connected to a PWM output pin. On Wiring v1 boards the PWM capable pins are: 29, 30, 31, 35, 36 and 37 On Wiring S board the PWM capable pins are: 4, 5, 6, 7, 19 and 20
