Hi

Anyone got experience building the harbinger with LDRs other than the ones in the BOM?
Even standard Tayda ones?

Cheers

A brief google says the suggested LDR is roughly 6M7 dark resistance.

Tayda Waitrony LDRs are 500k dark resistance. You're going to get not a lot of depth.

If you still have any lying around, I'd suggest the Lovetone 20k/20M LDRs used for the ?Flange.

Hey Alan, thanks for the heads up. I managed to grab the datasheet. I have a bunch of LDRs from Futurlec knocking around somewhere, will try and dig them out and see if any would be suitable.

Victory, it appears, may be mine.

I found my futurlec stash
I have 4 of each of these spec

30k/5M dark
50k/8M dark

Thinking I will go with the latter....

ITs alive! will post a build report when its boxed up
