COMPARISON BETWEEN A LOW COST ARDUINO TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ONE DONE WITH NI USB 6008 DAQ DEVICE

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to design and implement two low cost project intended in terms of hardware and software, to make a street traffic light. The first project will be realized using the Arduino Uno development platform, and the second using the NI USB-6008 data acquisition board. The program used for both projects is LabVIEW. As a result, the hardware resources that will be used in the projects are: Arduino Uno, NI USB 6008, a  red, yellow and green LED, a breadboard, 3 x suitable resistors for the LEDs you have (probably 220 Ohms is fine) and connecting wires.

The results will be displayed through the serial interface on the computer in the LabVIEW program, and also on the three LEDs on the breadboard.
