Control Servo with Light using Arduino

Hello!
In this Instructable i will teach you how to control a servo using a Photocell.
This is very simple and good for beginners.

Step 1: Materials

1 x Photocell
1 x 10k Resistor
1 x Arduino
1x Breadboard
1x Servo
and some jumpers

Step 2: Wiring it up

Wire everything following the schematic below.

Step 3: The Code

Arduino Control Servo with Light circuit

The Code is very simple:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;
int val;

void setup()
{
myservo.attach(12);
}
void loop()
