The first thing I did was plug the LED onto the board, making sure the positives and negatives legs were placed the right way. The I placed the end of the resitor to the longer leg of LED. I then connected a wire to the built in LED 13 and then to the top of the right side of the resistor. I finally connected a wire to GND and to the row of the shorter leg on the LED.
I then coded the LED to blink in 1 second increments.
I repeated the same exact process for the first LED on all three of the LEDs. I connected the wire to GND and then to the shorter leg of the LED. I then used the spots -12 and -11 to connect wires to the resistor.
I duplicated the code 3 times for each LED and changed the pins to either 12 or 11. I also change the timing to the LEDs could go right after the other.
Now that I've seen that my stop light workings, I will now copy my written code to Arbuido to transfer it into my real life model.
I started with only one LED like I did in tinker cad to make sure everything work properly. I connect the GND and the pin 13 just like my Tinkercad model.
I then mimicked my tinkercad model onto my board.
This is my final stoplight from tinkercad working on an actual board.
The problem I encountered while making my stop light was that whenever i tried to upload my code to arbuino, I could only get com 1. Mrs. Morrow was able to fix it the problem the next day and I was able to use com 2.
