Schematic of the Traffic Light |
So far I am through almost an entire semester of Computer Applications. I had learnt a lot and had done a quite a few projects. I had been making small project for myself. Now its time to share my new knowledge with everybody.
My most recent project so far was the traffic light. It took me some time to figure out how it works. I had to connect 3 different LEDs and control them. I had to make an actual schematic that would show how everything is connected, which wasn't easy at first but I got how to draw it.

Fritzing of the Traffic Light |
After I finished making the schematic and found the code, I wired all of it and it was working almost like I wanted. For some reason it was inverting the light turn on sequence. I had to go through the code multiple times to see the problem. Soon I finally saw that code's creator wanted me to think and test my actual knowledge of coding. I had to flip the entire code to fix the issue. It was quite irritating but it did make me learn.
My goals for the near future are to be able to share what I learnt and pull people into this. I want to make people want to try Arduinos and maybe follow my path. For my future I still want to use all the skills I had learnt but not necessarily in the army but also in a university/college that I might want to apply.
