    I am familiar with constructing this using an astable 555 timer to create clock pulses.

     

    But my class requires me to use a arduino microcontroller in my design. I am not familiar with how this MC works.

     

    Does anyone have any ideas? Here a general concept of how my proposed project should look.

     

    1)Has a general timer that flashes green(15s)/yellow(3s)/red(8s)

    (can be used with a timer with adjusted RC values)

     

    2) Has a remote control that can power on the circuit, power it off, can have it stay in idle mode(lights not changing but remains on) and resume mode (where lights flash according to timing) and finally one more button which will fast forward to the next light. Green will become yellow. Yellow becomes red. Red becomes green. And optional, a button that will reduce the current light in half. Red would be cut to 4s.

    Hi Gabriel,

    First thing you should know is that the Arduino is not a microcontroller. It is the name of the circuit boards which can be interfaced with arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software. The board uses AVR microcontrollers.

    It is very easy to develop projects using arduino, since all the hardware requirements are satisfied in the arduino board itself and the IDE has lot of built in libraries which will make your coding easier tahn anywhere else.

    It will take a day or two maximum to finish the code for your project using arduino even if you are a beginner.
