About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a simple traffic light system using colored LEDs and a microcontroller, programmed to cycle through red, yellow, and green lights automatically, just like real traffic lights!

Why it's a good starter: This project is perfect for beginners because it's hands-on, uses affordable parts, and focuses on one main skill: controlling hardware with code. You'll see instant feedback as your code makes the lights change.

What you'll learn: You'll learn how to connect LEDs to a microcontroller, write code to control them, and test your circuit safely. Along the way, you'll build confidence with basic electronics and programming.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 7d

Submit a short plan outlining your approach and a photo of your gathered materials (microcontroller, LEDs, breadboard, wires). Clearly list what you intend to build and how you'll do it.

2. Core Build: Wiring & Basic Code

30 marks 14d

Submit a clear photo of your breadboard circuit with all LEDs connected, plus your first working code that turns each LED on/off (manual sequence). Include a short explanation of your wiring.

3. Core Build: Automatic Sequence

30 marks 10d

Submit your updated code and a short video showing the LEDs cycling automatically through a traffic light sequence (red → yellow → green). Explain how your timing works.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 5d

Submit your test results (photos/video) showing correct operation, plus a brief checklist of what you fixed or improved (e.g. code comments, wiring neatness, timing tweaks).

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 7d

Submit a 1-page report describing your build process, challenges, and what you learned, plus a final demo video of your working traffic light controller.
