Store Light Readings in an Array

Get voltage readings from a light dependent resistor (LDR) light sensor and store in an array called ldr. Next we plot the readings stored in the array. The store_data task collects the readings and stores them the plot_data task plots them.
The LDR is attached to +3v and a 100K resistor is below it.

Next we plot the readings stored in the array.

The store_data task collects the readings and stores them

the plot_data task plots them.
