In this chapter we are going to apply what we have learnt in a simple program. It is probably the most common program that all new embedded programmers start with. It will take you through a structured approach to design programs.

After reading this chapter, you will be able to program a simple model of a set of traffic lights. You will be able to call subroutines from within the main program loop.

Controlling a Single Set of Traffic Lights

Hopefully it should not be too much of a problem to design a program that would control a set of three lights, Red, Amber, and ...
