Introduction: Traffic Light Controller Using ARM Cortex-M4
This is a breadboard based project which uses ARM Cortex-M4 (Texas Instruments EK-TM4C123GXL) to make a traffic light controller.
The duration of RED and BLUE LED is set to 15 Seconds. The duration of Yellow LED is set to 1 Second. A "plot" figure is attached with the project to help in understanding of allocation of traffic lights.
The cathode of all LED's is attached with each other. It means that they all have common ground level.
.bin file of c99 code is attached with the provided link at the end of this tutorial. .bin file can be uploaded to the microcontroller using LM Flash Programmer.
Step 1: Requirements
The following things are required to get this project done:
1- Texas Instruments EK-TM4C123GXL
2- Four Red LED's
3- Four Yellow LED's
4- Four Blue or Green LED's
5- LM Flash Programmer (software on PC)
=> If you don't know how to use and install LM Flash Programmer, then please check out my previous Instructable, or click on the following links:
Step 2: Pin-outs & Wiring
The Pin-outs & Wiring of ARM Cortex-M4 (Texas Instruments EK-TM4C123GXL) and other peripherals is attached with this step and also given following:
===================
TM4C123GXL => LED's
===================
PB5 => L1 (Red) , L2 (Red)
PB0 => L1 (Yellow) , L2 (Yellow)
PB1 => L1 (Blue) , L2 (Blue)
PE4 => L3 (Red) , L4 (Red)
PE5 => L3 (Yellow) , L4 (Yellow)
PB4 => L3 (Blue) , L4 (Blue)
GND => All negative terminals of LED's
