Arduino DAQ

This document describes an Arduino program that simulates a traffic light system with four states: 1) north-south red, east-west green; 2) north-south red, east-west yellow; 3) north-south green, east-west red; and 4) north-south yellow, east-west red. It defines pins for the traffic lights and pedestrian button/light. The main loop switches between states using delays or a waitFor() function. waitFor() uses a while loop to flash an LED until the time period ends. The program also checks for a pedestrian button press and flashes the crossing light.

ENGR 2167 : HW1, TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM
KIRTI DEO MISHRA
About :
The system has basically four states:
1. N-S Red, E-W Green, All others off - longer period
2. N-S Red, E-W Yellow, All others off - shorter period
3. N-S Green, E-W Red, All others off - longer period
4. N-S Yellow, E-W Red, All others off - shorter period
First a basic control flow is written which uses delay() to simulate automated
traffic light system(this doesn't take into account real time element). Later on
the control will be modified to incorporate pedestrian walking.
After the basic testing of traffic light system with the delay() statement, a function
waitFor() was created which is a while loop which in turns call flashLt() to flash the LED.
