How to Control 12 Led With Uno

This is my first instructable and I want to thank Oadil for his instructable Trafik light, 9 led using Arduino UNO I bought a simple UNO micro controller and I was looking for an easy project to be able to understand the inputs and the outputs. Check out his instruct able to see the first steps and how to connect the led with the different outputs. I could just copy his text but I really wanna give him some credit. I spent several days before I found help.

Step 1: Trafik Lights

int led2 = 2;

int led3 = 3; int del=1000; int led4 = 4; int led5 = 5; int led6 = 6; int led7 = 7; int led8 = 8; int led9 = 9; int led10 = 10;

// the set up routine runns once when you press reset:

void setup () { // initialize the digital pin as oupput.

pinMode(led2, OUTPUT); pinMode(led3, OUTPUT); pinMode(led4, OUTPUT); pinMode(led5, OUTPUT); pinMode(led6, OUTPUT); pinMode(led7, OUTPUT); pinMode(led8, OUTPUT); pinMode(led9, OUTPUT); pinMode(led10, OUTPUT); } //the loop routine runs over and over again forever:

void loop(){

digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, LOW); digitalWrite(led5, LOW); digitalWrite(led6, LOW); digitalWrite(led7, LOW); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); digitalWrite(led9, LOW); digitalWrite(led10, LOW);

//All red

digitalWrite(led2, LOW); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, HIGH); digitalWrite(led5, HIGH); digitalWrite(led6, LOW); digitalWrite(led7, LOW); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); digitalWrite(led9, LOW); digitalWrite(led10, LOW);

delay(del*2);

// GREEN1

digitalWrite(led2, LOW); digitalWrite(led3, HIGH); digitalWrite(led4, LOW); digitalWrite(led5, HIGH); digitalWrite(led6, LOW); digitalWrite(led7, LOW); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); digitalWrite(led9, LOW); digitalWrite(led10, LOW);

delay(del);

//YELLOW1

delay(del/2);

//ALL RED

digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, LOW); digitalWrite(led5, LOW); digitalWrite(led6, LOW); digitalWrite(led7, HIGH); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); digitalWrite(led9, LOW); digitalWrite(led10, LOW);

delay(del*2);

//GREEN 2

digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, LOW); digitalWrite(led5, LOW); digitalWrite(led6, HIGH); digitalWrite(led7, LOW); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); digitalWrite(led9, LOW); digitalWrite(led10, LOW); delay(del);

delay(2*del);

//GREEEN2

digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, LOW); digitalWrite(led5, HIGH); digitalWrite(led6, LOW); digitalWrite(led7, LOW); digitalWrite(led8, LOW); digitalWrite(led9, HIGH); digitalWrite(led10, LOW);

delay(del);

//YELLOW3

}

Step 2: Christmas Lights

Now that I understood a lille bit more I wanted to play and explore some possibilities.

Observe that the fist two columns are just the same. but I added three more outputs and tried to make it work like the christmas lights.

Copy and paste the code below.

int led2 = 2;
int led3 = 3; int del=1000; int led4 = 4; int led5 = 5; int led6 = 6; int led7 = 7; int led8 = 8; int led9 = 9; int led10 = 10; int led11= 11; int led12= 12; int led13= 13;

// the set up routine runns once when you press reset:

void setup () { // initialize the digital pin as oupput.

pinMode(led2, OUTPUT); pinMode(led3, OUTPUT); pinMode(led4, OUTPUT); pinMode(led5, OUTPUT); pinMode(led6, OUTPUT); pinMode(led7, OUTPUT); pinMode(led8, OUTPUT); pinMode(led9, OUTPUT); pinMode(led10, OUTPUT); pinMode(led11, OUTPUT); pinMode(led12, OUTPUT); pinMode(led13, OUTPUT); }

// ALL ON

void loop(){ digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); delay(del); digitalWrite(led3, HIGH); delay(del/2); digitalWrite(led4, HIGH); delay(del/3); digitalWrite(led5, HIGH); delay(del/4); digitalWrite(led6, HIGH); delay(del/5); digitalWrite(led7, HIGH); delay(del/6); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); delay(del/7); digitalWrite(led9, HIGH); delay(del/8); digitalWrite(led10, HIGH); delay(del/9); digitalWrite(led11, HIGH); delay(del/10); digitalWrite(led12, HIGH); delay(del/11); digitalWrite(led13, HIGH); delay(del);

int led2 = 2;

int led3 = 3; int del=1000; int led4 = 4; int led5 = 5; int led6 = 6; int led7 = 7; int led8 = 8; int led9 = 9; int led10 = 10; int led11= 11; int led12= 12; int led13= 13;

// the set up routine runns once when you press reset:

void setup () { // initialize the digital pin as oupput.

pinMode(led2, OUTPUT); pinMode(led3, OUTPUT); pinMode(led4, OUTPUT); pinMode(led5, OUTPUT); pinMode(led6, OUTPUT); pinMode(led7, OUTPUT); pinMode(led8, OUTPUT); pinMode(led9, OUTPUT); pinMode(led10, OUTPUT); pinMode(led11, OUTPUT); pinMode(led12, OUTPUT); pinMode(led13, OUTPUT); }

void loop(){ digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); digitalWrite(led3, HIGH); delay(del/4); digitalWrite(led2, LOW); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, HIGH); digitalWrite(led5, HIGH); delay(del/4); digitalWrite(led2, HIGH); digitalWrite(led3, HIGH); digitalWrite(led4, LOW); digitalWrite(led5, LOW); digitalWrite(led6, HIGH); digitalWrite(led7, HIGH); delay(del/4); digitalWrite(led2, LOW); digitalWrite(led3, LOW); digitalWrite(led4, HIGH); digitalWrite(led5, HIGH); digitalWrite(led6, LOW); digitalWrite(led7, LOW); digitalWrite(led8, HIGH); digitalWrite(led9, HIGH); delay(del/4);

Awesome ideas!

For the next times, I'd recommend you learning about:

Charlieplexing,Shift-Register, and for loops to make less code writing/less pins.

Send me a PM if you want further explaining :)

[Otech2012]

Hi can you please help me to learn about shift ref and chsrliplexing ? Whatever info you can send me I appricated I am new to Arduino where I can Lear to program? Thanks

[luzm]

Thanks! maybe it looks like a lot of coding, but I just created two rows of code and changed a single thing avery time, then I copied and pasted a lot of times. I'll try to use less pins in the future, but how can I have control over every single one? I have some sequences that may require it.

[ofir60]

About the code- I got it, but you can use loops to make it shorter and easier to make.
for and while.
As for using less pins, you can do that using shift-register, he uses 3 pins and gets 8 outputs.
Here's an example for one.

To learn more, read these articles:
http://www.idogendel.com/en/archives/211
It has 3 parts, look at the update part below.
Have fun!

[luzm]

Oh, I understand what you mean now. I don't have shift-register yet, but I'm expecting a couple.

[violinsinalma]

Nice!

[seamster]

Coo, thanks for sharing this!

[luzm]

Thanks! I really appreciate . :-)
