-Cover the LDRs with semi-transparent material to act as light diffuser. Doing this will make sensor sensitive over bigger area. Also leave enough space between LDRs and diffuser for light to spread. You can use ping pong ball for this.+Cover the LDRs with semi-transparent material to act as light diffuser. Doing this will make sensor sensitive over bigger area.
