Avoid lightning strikes on Final Fantasy X by using an Arduino + LDR + Servo
Now with actual servo code! I still used the hardware shema below though, just on an ELEGOO UNO, not an Arduino pro, which is why there's more wires. I ain't fancy.
If you're completely new to Arduino, like me, I recommend getting this kit: ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit with Tutorial and UNO R3 Compatible with Arduino IDE It has everything you need and a lot more!
Parts list:
1x Arduino/ELEGOO UNO R3
1x mini (or large, whatever) breadboard
1x 5V mini servo
1x LDR/photocell
1x 1kOhm resistor (or 100Ohm?, i dont care, 1k worked for me)
1x USB connector for arduino
5x M to M wires
2x M to F wires (to lead sensor to TV)
masking/painters tape for photocell -> TV
rubber bands for servo -> controller
