Step 7Wiring
Now we are going to wire the Arduino to the breadboard, the wires all word in the order from top to bottom, and do not cross over so if the wrong lights come on at the wrong time patch the cables back in the right places...
Images below show how these should be wired.
Image 2 & 3: From the 5v line go to the resistor we placed coming out of the button.
Image 4 & 5: The green wire on the GND (ground) pin goes to the red rail which you connected the cathode of your LEDs to.
Image 6: The LEDs are wired in turn from pin 13 down to 8 starting at the top LED working your way down the bread board. This is why I said to have the board to the left as you can wire it as below...
13 o--------o ---/\/\/\/\/\--- ---O---|
12 o--------o ---/\/\/\/\/\--- ---O---|
11 o--------o ---/\/\/\/\/\--- ---O---|
10 o--------o ---/\/\/\/\/\--- ---O---|
09 o--------o ---/\/\/\/\/\--- ---O---|
Image 7: Wire the orange wires like before to the Piezo (pin 8), wait led (pin 7) and button (pin 6)
Note the position of pin 6 is critical other wise the traffic lights will constantly loop as if the button was held down.
