Components Needed:

  • Arduino board (Arduino Uno)
  • 3 LEDs (Red, Yellow, Green)
  • 3 220-ohm resistors
  • Breadboard and jumper wires

Circuit Diagram:

  1. Connect the red LED's anode to pin 13 and cathode to ground (through a resistor).
  2. Connect the yellow LED's anode to pin 12 and cathode to ground (through a resistor).
  3. Connect the green LED's anode to pin 11 and cathode to ground (through a resistor).

Arduino Code:

// Define LED pins const int redLED = 13; const int yellowLED = 12; const int greenLED = 11; void setup() { // Set LED pins as OUTPUT pinMode(redLED, OUTPUT); pinMode(yellowLED, OUTPUT); pinMode(greenLED, OUTPUT); } void loop() { // Red light on digitalWrite(redLED, HIGH); delay(5000); // Keep red on for 5 seconds // Red light off, Yellow light on digitalWrite(redLED, LOW); digitalWrite(yellowLED, HIGH); delay(2000); // Keep yellow on for 2 seconds // Yellow light off, Green light on digitalWrite(yellowLED, LOW); digitalWrite(greenLED, HIGH); delay(5000); // Keep green on for 5 seconds // Green light off digitalWrite(greenLED, LOW); }
