# Traffic Light Controller with MicroPython
Youtube Link:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b71Qk9Rgh4Y
## Overview
This project is a simple traffic light controller implemented using MicroPython. It controls LEDs to simulate traffic signals for four different lanes.
## Hardware Requirements
- A microcontroller that supports MicroPython (e.g., Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32)
- LEDs (Red, Yellow, Green) for each lane
- Resistors (220Ω recommended)
- Breadboard and jumper wires
## Wiring Configuration
Each lane has three LEDs (Red, Yellow, Green) connected to specific GPIO pins:
| Lane | Red Pin | Yellow Pin | Green Pin |
|--------|--------|------------|-----------|
| Jalur 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Jalur 2 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
| Jalur 3 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| Jalur 4 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
## Code Explanation
- The `traffic_lights` dictionary stores the GPIO pin configuration for each lane.
- The `all_red()` function ensures that all lanes start with a red signal.
- The `traffic_cycle(jalur)` function controls the signal timing:
- Sets all lights to red
- Turns green for the selected lane for 5 seconds
- Changes to yellow for 2 seconds before switching back to red
- The `while True` loop cycles through all four lanes in sequence.
## Usage
1. Load the script onto your MicroPython-compatible board.
2. Connect the LEDs and power up the board.
3. The traffic lights will cycle automatically.
## Future Improvements
- Add pedestrian crossing functionality
- Implement sensors for traffic density detection
- Integrate with IoT for remote monitoring
