STEP 1: Parts

4 Leds (Green,Blue,Red,Yellow)

4 220ohm resistor

1 LDR

1 10k resistor

Female Pins

PCB

STEP 2: Cut the PCB

Shape your design to the PCB. Then cut it. I used 3.5cm by 2.5cm

STEP 3: Start Soldering Part 1

Start Soldering the Leds like the schematic.

STEP 4: Soldering Part 2

Solder the LDR with the 10k resistor and the Pins like the schematic.

STEP 5: Connect It and Upload the Code

Connect the Pins like the Schematic and Upload the Code.

STEP 6: Done!!!

After you have Upload the code, see how your DIY sensor finds the colours.If a colour matches,the led colour will flash 3 times.Hope you enjoy!!
