Or......you could always learn to program. doing simple things liek that really isn't that hard.
I designed and built my own custom curcuits and used sensors to make an RC h2 car, from radio shack, to follow the brightest light.

I used a pic18f4620. I amplified the reading with op-amps. And used ref voltages to spread the 10 bit adc evenly across the calibrated light.

If anyone would like the source code or get more info on this email me at FirstJerseyKid@comcast.net
