• Update 12/8/2011 - Initial release
• Update 2012-2015 - Unspecified Updates
• Update 6/19/2016 - "cleaned up", organized, and simplified code.
• Update 6/19/2016 - ADDED UDP SERVER: This unit will send UDP packets to the receiver box located at my home. This is to make sure that the Traffic Light is working correctly and the network is active.

Overview

This program will light up a traffic light using corresponding colors of RED, YELLOW, and GREEN for "leaving the station" actions as well as send UDP packets to the "Arduino-Fire-Dept-Traffic-Light-Homeversion" program.

    • YELLOW - "Get Set": 3-5 Minutes (Flashes 3 times, then solid)
    • GREEN - "Go": 5-10 Minutes (Flashes 3 times, then solid)
• Reset Button
  • Reset Arduino when pressed
