Started by tanveer_43 May 3, 2003
hello,

i want to control traffic light signals through M68hc11 .the
approach is ,when a car come, the signal will turn on otherwise turn
off.i want to know the code of this program .if any one know let me
aware too .

Why do you need a controller to do this? A loop detector on the road
which triggers a timer that keeps the light on for a certain length of time
will do the trick.

A traffic controllers is a very complicated bit of equipment which has
to have a lot of fail safe measures and doesn't just turn lights on and
off. REMEMBER people WILL DIE if the controller misbehaves.
Also a commercial type of controllers will need more than just a HC11.

Perhaps you should tell us a bit more about you project.

IME, the only people who ever ask this FAQ are students with a project.
Just ignore them and let them do their own study, or you'll help foist
yet more witless "engineers" on the world.

helo John,

i am a student .i have an assignment of M68hc11 .it is to use m68hc11 microcontroller and write code for traffic light control system(in mini ide).i have to complete it in one week.My teacher allow me to use net for this purpose.i visit various sites but didn't find desired knowledge.so i leave my question

here.Because the basic purpose is to get code and study it for further enhancement.

thank u
