AFAIK, Mouser does not do a lot of development, support, or tutorials for this - they are primarily targeting the professional/commercial market, while Sparkfun is primarily targeting the hobbyist market. The Mouser price is closer to $40 than it is to $30. Not sure which Arduino or Arduino-compatible board is right for you? Check out our Arduino Buying Guide! The Mega 2560 R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new shields which use these additional pins. The other is a not connected and is reserved for future purposes. One is the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin. The Mega 2560 R3 also adds SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. Never fear for accidental electrical discharge, either since since the Mega also includes a plastic base plate to protect it! It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560.

Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. I quickly passed my eyes over the official description, seeing the words 'inverts the behaviour', but did not see that I require a ground for the signalling.Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/ Wiring language. With regards to using INPUT_PULLUP, yes, I've just realised my error. However, the 'traffic lights' go through their cycle without me pressing either switch.Īccording to the link you have provided, I think I just need to connect the 10k resistors to a ground. I've connected my components as the schematic outlines. change west lights from green to yellow to redįor ( int a = 0 a < 5 a++ ) // blink yellow lightĭigitalWrite(eastRed, LOW) // change east-facing lights from red to green TrafficWest = false // change traffic flow flag to east>west only continue if traffic flow is in the opposite (west) direction TrafficWest = true // change traffic flow flag to west>eastĭelay(flowTime) // give time for traffic to flowĭigitalWrite(eastGreen, LOW) // change east-facing lights from green only continue if traffic flowing in the opposite (east) direction If ( digitalRead(westButton) = HIGH ) // request west>east traffic flow set initial state for lights - west side is green first

Int changeDelay = 2000 // amount of time between color changes Int flowTime = 1000 // amount of time to let traffic flow #define yellowBlinkTime 500 // 0.5 seconds for yellow light blinkīoolean trafficWest = true // west = true, east = false

Here is the code they provide (I've changed the pin numbers for my own appropriation) #define westButton 31 I'm working off a project booklet actually, and this particular project simulates two traffic lights. Maybe a schematic, and a complete, minimal sketch that illustrates the problem, would help. You're applying a signal that doesn't pass the test, so the sketch doesn't execute the statements in the block. Your code is looking for a LOW to turn on the lights. To push 10 milliamps into an input pin, the voltage has to be higher than V CC - certainly high enough to be read as a HIGH. My guess is that almost the entire 10 milliamps flows from the pin through its protection diode into V CC. However when I pass 10mA into the pin, the lights do not change.ĭoes that mean that you're sourcing 10 milliamps into the pin? That would mean that you're applying a positive voltage to a relatively high impedance. See a discussion here, under the heading, 'Feeding.' It will read HIGH or LOW depending on the characteristics of the electric field that the pin, and the wire that's connected to it, are immersed in.

If I have your question right, I would guess that pin 31, configured as an input, is floating, and has no particular logical state. You're asking why you might read a HIGH on pin 31. OK, I think that you're saying that you're connecting a wire to pin 31, and leaving the other end of the wire not connected to anything. When I connect one end of a wire to it, and the other end is disconnected, the input still gets triggered.
