Connect to Arduino Mega2560
How to use on Arduino
- Step 1: Download the test program
- Download the Arduino test program: http://osoyoo.com/driver/screen/3.95inch-screen-for-arduino-mega2560/test.zip
- For a description of the relevant test procedures, please refer to the test program documentation in the package
- Step 2: Connect the Arduino development board
- Plug the module directly into the Arduino development board
- After the module is plugged in, power on the Arduino board
- Step 3: Copy the dependent library
- Make sure the Arduino IDE is installed on your computer (if it is not installed: Arduino IDE download URL)
- After installing the Arduino IDE, you need to copy the dependent library to the Arduino project directory as follows:
-
- (1) Decompress the downloaded test package
- (2) Copy the dependent libraries in the Install libraries directory in the package (shown below) to the libraries folder of the Arduino project directory (the default Arduino project directory is C:\Users\Administrator\ Documents\Arduino\libraries).
- Step 4: Compile and download the program to the development board
- Open the sample in the Example directory of the package to test, compile and download（ Don’t know how to compile and download?）
- Step 5: Observe the running of the program
-
-
- After the program is downloaded, run it directly and observe the running status. If it can be displayed normally, the program runs successfully, as shown in the following figure (take the colligate_test test program as an example):
- This set of test procedures contains the following test items:
- Example_01_Simple_test is a simple swipe test that does not depend on the library, can be used to detect the LCD hardware;
B.Example_02_clear_screen is a simple solid color brush test;
- Example_03_colligate_test is a comprehensive test, including graphics, lines, text display;
- Example_04_display_graph is a graphical display test, including graphics drawing and filling test;

Graphical Programming Tutorial for Arduino – Traffic Light Controller
Introduction
The real time traffic light controller is a complex piece of equipment which consists of power cabinet, main controller or processor, relays, control panel with switches or keys, communication ports etc.
In this lesson, we will go over how to build a traffic light circuit with an arduino microcontroller.
Preparations
HARDWARE
- Osoyoo UNO Board (Fully compatible with Arduino UNO rev.3) x 1
- One Digit 7-Segment LED Display x 1
- 74HC595 x 1
- 200 ohm Resistor x 7
- LEDs (Red LED x 2, Yellow LED x 2, Green LED x 2)
- Breadboard x 1
- Jumpers
- USB Cable x 1
- PC x 1
About this project
The use of personal vehicles is very common now a days and a result, the number of vehicles on the roads are exponentially increasing. Roads without any supervision or guidance can lead in to traffic congestions and accidents.
Traffic Lights or Traffic Signals are signalling devices that are used to control the flow of traffic. Generally, they are positioned at junctions, intersections, ‘X’ roads, pedestrian crossings etc. and alternate the priority of who has to wait and who has to go.
The traffic lights will provide instructions to the users (drivers and pedestrians) by displaying lights of standard color. The three colors used in traffic lights are Red, Yellow and Green.
In this project, an Arduino based Traffic Light Controller system is designed. It is a simple implementation of traffic lights system but can be extended to a real time system with programmable timings, pedestrian lighting etc. There is a green LED, which represents the green light. A yellow LED, which represents the yellow light. And a red LED, which represents the red light.
We will show all the hardware connections and the software needed to make this circuit work.
Connection
Build the circuit as below:
In this experiment, we use a 7-segment display to count down and set two groups of traffic lights to represent two directions, let’s say, north-south (TF1) and east-west (TF2), as shown in the above picture.
CODE PROGRAM
After above operations are completed, connect the Arduino board to your computer using the USB cable. The green power LED (labelled PWR) should go on.Open the Graphical Programming software Mixly and follow the next operations:
Setup baud rate and define datArray[] to store the to-be-display number.
Set a function State 1(), to light up a red LED(Pin 5).
Display the number from 9 to 1 on the 7-segment Display, and light up the Green2 LED (Pin 4), set T_CP( Pin 12) Low and hold low for transmitting, then pull it to save the data.
Turn off the Green LED (Pin 4), and display the number 3 to 1 on the display, then turn on Yellow 2 LED (Pin 3). Next, dim LED Yellow 2 and Red 1( Pin 5).
Next comes the State2() The blocks of State2() is just similar and you can study by yourself.
Execute function State 1() and State2().
Running Result
A few seconds after the upload finishes, you can see what is similar to the traffic light now. First, the 7-segment display counts down from 9s, and the red light in the TF1 and the green one in the TF2 light up. Then it counts down from 3, and the green LED in the TF2 goes out when the yellow lights up, with the TF1 red light still on. 3s later, the 7-segment counts down from 9s again. Meanwhile, the red light in the TF2 and the green in the TF1 light up. After 9s, it counts down from 3s, when the yellow light in the TF1 lights up and the red in the TF2 keeps on. And this repeats over and over again, as a traffic light would.
Although it is not the ideal implementation for real life scenarios, it gives an idea of the process behind the traffic light control system.
Note: The project implemented here doesn’t include the pedestrian crossing and pedestrian signaling in to consideration.
Once you know how the software operates, you can change the values to make the LEDs be on or off for any period of time. For example, instead of being on for 9 seconds, you can easily change it to 15 seconds or 30 seconds. You could make the yellow LED be on just for 1 second or 2 seconds.
