Hello guys,
I'm a 18yo (Electrical Engineer) student from the Netherlands, so i'm sorry if my english isn't that good
So, i got a little job to do for school... i need to control a Studio Light (which is powered by a 19v adaptor) with a Arduino Nano... and maybe even with a BT/WiFi module hooked up to it for ''wireless control''. The goal is that the brughtness of the LED panel is defined by the amount of ''daylight'' that comes in trough a connected LDR or Ambilight module...
Here's a link to the studio light i'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Linkstar-LEP-1012C-3000k-5600K-Lights-Camera/dp/B06XPCXQ67
The point is, i'm new in this whole world of Arduino and programming and stuff like that... So i don't know really much about it...
I know how to build circuits and how to solder, but i definitly could use some help with the circuit diagram and maybe (a part of) the programming code
The Studio Light is controlled by a 10K Ohm Potentiometer and i measured 8V maximum on it... (Arduino works on 5v tho...)
I already did some reasearch online and figured out that i need to connect the middle pin (signal pin?) from the 10K potentiometer to the A0 of the Nano if i'm right?
What i did for now is that i soldered the 3 terminals of the 10K potmeter to the 3 right terminals of a DIGITAL 10K potmeter module because all i want in the end is that the brightness of the LED panel is controlled by the amount of light that comes in the LDR/Ambilight module...
So now is the question:
What is the best option for my project? Which electronics do i have to use? and what about the circuit and the programming code?
I don't have any pictures right now at the moment, but i hope to make them really soon in case you need them
If something's not clear, let me know!!
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
