A traffic light controller using discrete TTL gates. This project for a Digital II course was designed and built by a sophmore Computer Engineering Technology student.

  • How'd you like to be the poor sap in car #2, waiting on a third car to show up in the middle of the night, to get the signals to change.

    You'd be there forever waiting...

  • Agreed. However, an engineer's job isn't to question the logic of it (although don't think that I didn't), but instead only to meet the requirements given to him by his professor/boss/customer.

  • Wow, could the wiring be any messier? Other than that, a pretty nice project.

    "Door is my hero?" I don't get it.

  • If you look closely to the board, you might be able to tell that it started out very neat and even color-coated. After several stressful all-nighters and countless on-the-fly design changes, though, neatness began to suffer a bit!

    Thanks for the comments, everybody.

  • I can relate to trying to keeping electronic circuits clean. Cool set-up. I am assuming correct that for train drive you used a mod 3 J-K, and for the tram and base lock-down a NAND that actives a 1 hz flip flop?

  • I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The entire thing was controlled by a state machine, a central "brain" of two D-Flip Flops. Pretty much everything else was just decoding logic to decide which LEDs to illuminate and for how long and which state should come next.

    It has been a while since I've even thought about this project, having moved on to bigger and better things. I'm sure there are far better ways to do it than I did, but I didn't know that at the time as this was my first!

  • Very cool! I made one in DIgital II as well. Check mine out! Its a bit neater, but same sort of function (4-way traffic light).

  • Very nice. I read some comments and I fully understand why messy breadboards exist. I am an electronics tech and ham radio operator. Its better to solve problems this way. I hope you graduated top of your class.

  • Do all the wires do that? Or did you program something and put it in it?

  • Man, good job, next time think on a Microcontroller based brain.. your circuit is really messy!

  • nice device man

  • hi can you tell me about data sheet of this circuit components

  • rofl
