Traffic light is designed with two timer ICs 555 and three LED indicators, this circuit drives
three LEDs with different time delay to provide stop, wait, and go signals on road.
Traffic light circuit using IC 555 with Fixed Value Resistors.
Construction and working:
Two timer ICs biased with 12-volt power supply, the left side timer provides output through
Red LED, the right-side timer LED provides output through yellow LED and Green LED, here
the yellow LED output controlled by discharge pin, Vcc supply for this IC provides through
output and timer elements of left side timer IC 555. By varying VR1 and VR2 variable
resistors we can vary the time delay between LEDs, here two timer ICs control voltage pin 5
left as no connection, LED arrangement of traffic light as per order.
Components:
1. Bread board
2. Two 555 timer IC
3. 100k resistor
4. Two 100uf capacitor
5. 47k resistor
6. Two 390 ohms resistor
7. 330 ohms resistor
8. Red, Orange, Green LED and connecting wires
