TRAFFICER... the fun and easy sequence traffic light
(GREEN,
YELLOW, RED)
kit.
Our
TRAFFICER - GYR3 has many applications;. Mount the TRAFFICER on your
toy train-tracks
for signaling. Place TRAFFICER anywhere
you’d like to draw attention and a smile. The unique small
design will allow you to mount it almost anywhere. Operates with 9V battery, 12V car battery,
four 1.5V batteries, or via
one of our battery simulator kits. The alternative uses are endless. It’s designed for the beginner as well as
the expert. Please drop us a line at sales@eidusa.com

TRAFFICER. Our traffic light LED kit is based on
“10 bit counter.” Using the integrated circuit (IC) LM555 as a clock generator.
The
first 4 bits of the counter lights L1 (green LED), the next bit
lights L2 (yellow LED), the last 5 bits lights L3 (red LED).
In other words, using diodes as a "OR" configuration
creates the
following repeated sequence of the LEDs: L1, L1, L1, L1, L2, L3,
L3, L3, L3, L3, L2...
The
RLX resistor determines the LEDs brightness and limits the
current flow to about 10 to 15mA when running between 9V to 12
VDC.
The
TRAFFICER flash running rate is determined by C1 capacitor and R1
resistor--increasing C1, while decreasing R1, will slow the
rate. For instance, if the LM555 is set to generate one pulse
per second, i.e. 1 HZ, the green light will light for 4 seconds,
the yellow for 1, the red for 5.
