Traffic Light Control and Hex Up counter on 7 segment display and LED

 Back to basics on this. Generated a 1Hz clock from a 25.175MHZ Altera UP2 FPGA Board, and then created an up counter that counts from 0 to 15 and outputs this count in Hex, to a 7 segment display every second. This design also controls traffic light for a 4 way intersection. These directions are named East-West lane and North-South lane. A reset input is also implemented such that when push button is pressed both directions will get the stop signal (red light is on while green and yellow lights are off for all direction). After reset traffic control then allows E-W traffic (that is E-W signal is green while North-East is red). When E-W is green, N-S is red and vice versa. Also when any direction is switching from green to red, they will both go through yellow first. Red and green runs for 6 seconds each while yellow runs for 2 seconds. This was built using only combination logic. As mentioned earlier, went back to basics on this one. Also using all red LEDs because that is the only type the Altera board provides. The order of the light goes Green, Yellow, and Red for both directions.

I have decided to start posting some of the projects that i have been working on, in and outside of school. Some of these projects were done a while back. I haven't had time to constantly update my blog as i have been busy with school, coupled with the fact that i have achieved a Senior status in college, and will also be graduating within 3years at Johnson and Wales University, with a B.Sc in Electronic Engineering. Enjoy......

Dateline's to catch a predator

I believe dateline's to catch a predator is a very good programme that i think should continue. It has caught over two hundred potential child predators. It has also exposed so many predators looking for underage children to have sex with.It has also revealed the tactics these predators use to manipulate young underage children.It helps parents and police officers, and teaches them how to handle predators.I think it will benefit life's, make the internet better and saver. people will be more responsible and the rate of cyber crimes will be reduced.

Digital citizenship

Rights and responsibility - Everybody has the right to use the internet, but while using it, we should be responsible enough to post or use it the right way. We should use it without hurting someone else or been disrespective to others. Note, whatever you post or upload can either make or destroy someoneelse in many ways we dont even know exist. The key is use the internet but be responsible while doing it.
