Laboratory Manual: Arduino Traffic Light Simulation

Objective:

To simulate a basic traffic light system using an Arduino and three LEDs (Red, Yellow, and Blue) with
specified time delays to mimic real-world traffic light behavior.

Components Required:

 Arduino UNO board

 Breadboard

 1 x Red LED

 1 x Yellow LED

 1 x Blue LED (or Green for more realistic traffic light)

 3 x 220-ohm resistors

 Jumper wires

 USB cable to connect Arduino to a computer

Circuit Diagram:

Refer to the provided diagram.

1. Red LED:

o Connect the positive leg (longer) of the Red LED to Digital Pin 9 of the Arduino.

o Connect a 220-ohm resistor between the negative leg (shorter) of the Red LED and the
ground rail on the breadboard.

2. Yellow LED:

o Connect the positive leg of the Yellow LED to Digital Pin 8.

o Connect a 220-ohm resistor between the negative leg of the Yellow LED and the ground
rail.

3. Blue LED (acts as a Green Traffic Light):

o Connect the positive leg of the Blue LED to Digital Pin 7.

o Connect a 220-ohm resistor between the negative leg of the Blue LED and the ground
rail.

4. Connections to Arduino:
o Connect the ground (GND) of the Arduino to the ground rail of the breadboard.

o Ensure the circuit has a common ground for proper operation.

Code
int red = 9;
int yellow = 8;
int blue = 7;
Observation: void setup(){
pinMode(red, OUTPUT);
 Red LED: Lights up for 15 seconds, indicating a
pinMode(yellow, OUTPUT);
stop.
pinMode(blue, OUTPUT);
 Yellow LED: Blinks } for a short period, warning
that the signal is void loop(){ about to change.
digitalWrite(red, HIGH);
delay(15000);
digitalWrite(red, LOW);
digitalWrite(yellow, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(yellow, LOW);
delay(500);
 Blue LED (Green in real-life traffic lights): Stays on for 20 seconds, indicating it's safe to go.

 Yellow LED: Blinks again to signal the transition back to red.
