Stop Light Ardunio

Build your own stoplight with push-buttons that you can turn each light on and off. Follow each step to build your circuit, download the attached code, to your Arduino and enjoy!

1 green LED, 1 red LED, 1 yellow LED, 3 push buttons, jumper wires of various sizes (at least 10), breadboard, Arduino UNO, jumper wires to connect to ground and 5v (preferably red and black in color), power cord for Arduino UNO, 6 resistors, Arduino online code editor

Make sure you have the following items and set them out:

• 1 green LED,
• 1 red LED,
• 1 yellow LED,
• 3 push buttons,
• jumper wires of various sizes (at least 10),
• breadboard,
• Arduino UNO,
• jumper wires to connect to ground and 5v (preferably red and black in color),
• power cord for Arduino UNO,
• 6 resistors,
• Arduino online code editor

Connect one end of the black wire to the negative rail on your breadboard and the other end to GND on your Arduino UNO

Connect one end of the Red wire to the positive rail on your breadboard and the other end to 5v on your Arduino UNO

Connect your red LED to the breadboard using column f, and rows 3 and 4. Make sure your LED's long leg (anode) is on the top and the short leg (cathode) is on the bottom on two different rows!

Use a resistor to connect to row 4 and the negative rail on your breadboard

Add a jumper wire from row 3 on the breadboard to port 3 on the Arduino.

Connect your yellow LED to the breadboard using column f, and rows 7 and 8. Make sure your LED's long leg (anode) is on the top and the short leg (cathode) is on the bottom on two different rows!

Use a resistor to connect to row 8 and the negative rail on your breadboard

Add a jumper wire from row 7 on the breadboard to port 4 on the Arduino.

Connect your green LED to the breadboard using column f, and rows 11 and 12. Make sure your LED's long leg (anode) is on the top and the short leg (cathode) is on the bottom on two different rows!

Use a resistor to connect to row 12 and the negative rail on your breadboard

Add a jumper wire from row 11 on the breadboard to port 5 on the Arduino

Attach the 3 buttons across the middle of the breadboard (see image) leaving 2 rows of space in between each one.

Attach 1 short jumper wire from the top row where each button is, respectively, to the positive rail on the breadboard. You should do this 3 times, once for each button.

Attach one end of a resistor to the bottom row of each button and the other end to the negative rail on the breadboard. You should do this 3 times, once for each button.

Attach one end of each jumper wire to the same row that you attached the button's resistor. Attach the other end into port 10 for the bottom button, port 11 for the middle button, and port 12 for the top button on the Arduino.

Open your Arduino web editor and download this code (attached). You may have to copy and paste the link into a web browser.

Connect the USB cord to your computer and the other end into the Arduino to give it power and download the code.

Once the code is downloaded, enjoy pushing the buttons and turning on and off each light on your stop light!
