You are on page 1/ 6

You will need the following

parts

1x Arduino Uno
1x USB Cable
1x Breadboard
4x Jumper Wire
1x Red LED
1x Yellow LED
1x Green LED
3x Resistors
How does it work?

Think of how a
traffic light works.

it starts from RED


then turns to
GREEN
then turns YELLOW
and back to RED
we
connected
DIGITAL PIN
7 (D7) to the
RED light
we connect
DIGITAL PIN
6 (D6) to the
YELLOW light
we connect
set D7 to HIGH (red light)
set D6 to LOW (yellow light)
set D5 to LOW (green light)
WAIT for 10 seconds
set D7 to LOW (red light)
set D6 to LOW (yellow light)
set D5 to HIGH (green light)
WAIT for 10 seconds
set D7 to LOW (red light)
set D6 to HIGH (yellow light)
set D5 to LOW (green light)
WAIT for 1 seconds
void setup() { // turn the yellow light on // turn the
// initialize red together with red yellow light on
light pin digitalWrite(13, HIGH); digitalWrite(13,
pinMode(13, digitalWrite(12, HIGH); LOW);
OUTPUT); digitalWrite(11, LOW); digitalWrite(12,
// initialize // wait HIGH);
yellow light pin delay(1000); digitalWrite(11,
pinMode(12, LOW);
OUTPUT); // turn the green light on // wait
// initialize green digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000);
light pin digitalWrite(12, LOW);
pinMode(11, digitalWrite(11, HIGH); //start over
OUTPUT); // wait }
} delay(5000);
void loop() {
