Traffic Light Simulator Hardware
6 LEDs, 2 Momentary Contact Pushbuttons
Traffic Light Simulator Video
Make sure you video both sides in the same uninterrupted video (takes 30-45 s)
This is our first complicated Arduino Project - 6 LEDs, two pushbuttons, two capacitors, two types of resistors (8 total). You are moving from beginning sketches to advanced!....and should have a sense of accomplishment when you complete this project.
Follow the instructions for Boxall Project #5 (pp 74-78)
Important - Change eastButton from Pin 13 to Pin 9
Important - make sure westButton is the same on your sketch and wiring set-up
This is a medium complexity hardware and logic implementation, with two pushbuttons and six LEDs that requires conditional logic. There is an error (mismatch) between the schematic and the sketch. If you were to follow the schematic and copy the sketch, the project won't work. I annotated the pdf with handwritten comments to note the errors in the Boxall schematic and sketch.
Create a single post for this project on your student web pages. Reflect on how many and what kind of debug errors you had (hardware, schematic, sketch/software, or reading/understanding the assignment) - there should be plenty to comment on. Include a photo of your hardware and a 20-30 second video demonstrating the intended application. Be sure that your video shows operation for both the East and West traffic lights.
