Introduction
First off you must have the "PixController Universal V3" board. This board started shipping in October of 2004. The previous version of the Universal board did not have the POT to adjust the light detection level for the day/night sensor. If you look on the back of your board the V3 will be marked "PixController Universal V3" on the upper left hand corner as show below.


Day/Night Sensor

The Day/Night sensor is located on the front of the board near the PIR sensor (as shown below). This sensor is used to detect light levels between day and night. This is used to run your board in either day only mode, or night only mode. The day/night sensor will sense light through the PIR lens.



Adjusting the light detection level

On the rear of your board is a small POT (R24), which is used to adjust the light detection level of the day/night sensor. This is mostly used to adjust when the external light port will be active at night. If you turn the POT towards the "LT", or the left, the external light port will turn on in darker conditions. If you turn the POT towards the "DK", or right, the external light port will be active in lighter (night) conditions.
