How to make a Arduino compatible traffic light!

# Worst instructable ever, read on at own risk! #

This is a project that I threw together one day out of bits that I found around my house. The quality isn't very good because I am not the best person for woodwork or metalwork but it is useable.

Feel free to put any constructive comments on how I could improve it!

Step 1 Parts Needed

This is the list of materials:
- One lenght of copper pipe (down to your preference is the length)
-9 Red LED's
-9 Amber LED's
-9 Green LED's
-3 1k Resistors
-Pipe cutter
-JG Speedfit push-fit T for 15mm pipe (or other push-fit T*) (see http://www.screwfix.com/prods/74470/Plumbing/Push-Fit-Fittings/JG-Speedfit-PEM0215W-Equal-Tee-15mm-Pack-of-5 )
-Pushbutton
-CAT5e cable or other 8 core cable (30cm longer than your copper pipe)
-Pop bottle top
-Drill
-Hot melt glue gun with glue
-Container (I used a plastic food tub container)
-Craft knife
-Sharpie or other marker pen
-Chopping board or cutting mat
-Multimeter for debugging
-Soldering iron & solder
-Heat shrink tubing
-Current limited adjustable voltage power supply for testing
-Buzzer
-2 core wire for buzzer
-Stripboard for LED's

Nice design. Have you worked out any Arduino code for this yet?
I have an excellent program, but no lights to us them with.

Keep up the good work.
