#159313 - Resistor to processor too.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A 1k resistor when used with 5V voltage would limit the current to 5mA.

Are you sure that you have configured the I/O pin of your processor to be an input and not an activelly driven output? You should have a resistor from the photo transistor to the input pin on the processor too.
