traffic light
TI Innovator controls trafic lights and pedestrian lights that operate temporarily when necessary
Author: Christian Zöpfl
Topic: STEM
Main Idea
The idea to implement a simple controlling circuit, using a TI Innovator in a vivid and close to real life example. Pedestrian lights that operate temporarily when necessary should be installed at a pedestrian crossing. The traffic lights should switch to the red light and after actuating a switch, subsequently to the green light again.
Overview
- The traffic lights are simulated with simple LED lamps.
- The trigger signal for changing the light is tripped by a switch
- The program is required to work continuously, a brightness sensor is used to stop the process.
