Traffic Light With Pinoo
Introduction: Traffic Light With Pinoo
Purpose of the Project: To make the traffic light system by using green, yellow and red led modules with the Pinoo control card.
Duration: 2 lessons
Age Group: 7 years old and above
Pinoo Set: Basic set, invention set, maker set and complete set.
Achievements: Learns to code the Pinoo control board. Learns to use a LED module. Algorithm building skill develops. Coding skill improves.
Supplies
Materials to be used: Mblock 3 program, Pinoo control card, red, yellow and green led module, connection cables.
Materials Required for the Design: Black cardboard, white electrical tape, tongue stick, black cardboard, scissors, silicone gun and silicone.
Step 1: Project Preparation
* For our project, we first start our black cardboard with a road view.
* We make the road and pedestrian path with the help of white band.
* We cut and straighten the bottom of our tongue stick. Then we make the small piece we cut into a rectangular shape. After fixing our tongue stick, we fix the small part to support it as in the picture.
* We fix our LEDs in the form of red, yellow and green with the help of a silicon gun and we finish our design part. Let's pay attention to which doors we install our leds on the Pinoo control card. 231
(1.Door: Red Led, 2.Door: Yellow Led, 3.Door: Green Led)
Step 2: Adding Pinoo Extension
* From the Extensions tab, we click on the "Manage Extensions" option.
* In the window that opens, we type "Pinoo" into the search engine and simply say download to the result. It was installed on our computer.
Step 3: Connecting the Pinoo Control Board to the Computer
* In Mblock 3, we click on the "Connect" tab on the upper left.
* We click on the "Serial Port" section from the window that opens and select the "COM6" option from the page that opens.
* NOTE: Since the port entries of each computer are different, the numbers next to the COM text may change. We click on the Cards tab.
* From the window that opens, we select the "Arduino Nano" card option used by the Pinoo control card.
* We click on the Extensions tab.
* In the window that opens, we select the extension "Pinoo" of the control card we are using.
* We click on the Connect tab.
* We click on "Firmware Update" from the window that opens.
Step 4: Coding Part
* In order to control our LED module, we flash it with the code "Change LED status" under the "button is pressed" code.
* Under the "Green Flag" code, we will repeat our code continuously, first turning on our red LED for 5 seconds and at the same time turning off our yellow and green LEDs. In the same way, we have turned on our yellow led for 1 second and turned on our green led for 5 seconds, and then turned on our yellow led for 1 second to repeat it continuously.
* We right click on the "Pinoo Program" command. In the window that opens, we select the "Upload to Arduino" option.
* On the page that opens, we click the "Upload to Arduino" button selected in red. Our codes are uploaded to our Pinoo control card.
* We click on the "Close" button after the "Download Finished" text appears. After the installation is finished, the battery compartment is inserted and the project is run.
Step 5: Working Status of the Project
* The running state of our traffic light project. 991
