# Reading an analogue sensor with a single GPIO pin
# Basic script from:
# /www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/08/reading-analogue-sensors-with-one-gpio-pin/
# Author : Matt Hawkins -- Stephen Pratt (SJP)
# Distribution : Raspbian -- SJP Arch-arm
# Python : 2.7 -- SJP converted to v3.5
# GPIO : RPi.GPIO v3.1.0a
# PIN assignments:
# pin Name Connection
# 1 +3.3V power source
# 7 GPIO 4 read sensor
# 9 Ground Ground
# circuit characteristics
# series resistor = 220 Ohm
# LDR resistance (full sun) = 360 Ohm
# 'dusk' = 3 M Ohm
# capactitor = 10 uF (quite large)
# max current = 3.3/580 = 5.7 mA (well within spec)
