Wrangling Resistors: Creating a Calibrated LED Light for Photoresistor Testing
Wherein we discuss making a calibrated LED light pen that can be used to figure out what bias resistors to use for each sensor of the EUP5108 Punch Card Reader.

This circuit on TinkerCad WAS the basis of the physical design but as we shall see few simulations stand up to variability of actual electronic hardware.

We (thought we) learned last time that the light sensors (photo resistors) would best be read using the Analog inputs - in practice we just dropped the LEDs for each bit and used the digital inputs as originally planned - but some sensors were way more sensitive than others so reading the card data was unreliable.
Still to do: Showing how I connected the sensor bar to an Arduino nano microcontroller along with the code used to read the punch card data into the computer.
