√ Calculate the values of m you will use with the */ operator by multiplying m by
256.
√ Substitute your value of m and b in this line of code from
BalancePhtoresistors.bs2:
timeLeft = (timeLeft */ 351) + 7
√ Enter, save, and run your adjusted version of BalancePhotoresistors.bs2.
√ Expose both photoresistors to the same light level.
√ Verify that the “after” values are similar and corrected for differences in the
“before” values.
√ Choose a different light level and again, expose both photoresistors to it.
√ Check the “after” values again for similarity.
√ When you have determined your values for m and b, you can modify
RoamingTowardTheLight.bs2 by uncommenting the equation between
GOSUB
Test_Photoresistors and GOSUB Average_And_Difference. Your m value
will replace 351 and your b value will replace 7.
