This simple project uses an Arduino, a photoresistor, 2 potentiometers, and a resistor and uses basic serial communication between the Arduino and your computer. Basically, the user can draw by controlling two potentiometers (drawing knobs) and the photoresistor determines how dark the circle will be drawn.
