Good idea. I will probably be at the shop around 8pm tonight. Maybe we can

We need to connect to different places on the Arduino header, so I was
thinking of cutting these in half and soldering the wire ends directly to
our board

In the future too, if we designed the simple board for that a place like
Dirty Boards (or even OSH Park) would be a cheap way to get a bunch and
it looks like it would be a great 1st "Learn to Solder" Project. Also if
the female headers on the bottom were swapped out for male there are a
bunch of cheap ebay cable deals to wire up the interconnect from the
board to the light. I've been snagging them recently for some wiring
harness work and they seem to do ok.
Just a couple of thoughts.

Geno,
We can use this project to teach you how to do it.
The board is so small it would probably be < 10 minutes to mill each
one.
We already have lots of LED's in the shop we could use.

Bob if youre thinking of CNC the pcb's for the traffic lights, we
would need 10-20 of them. I don't want to overburden you with that
much work. You are the only one who knows how to do that right now.
If we bought the ones Ryan posted it would be $6 for each traffic
light. It would be nice to save $5, but its not that big a deal if it
means forcing you or someone else to manually CNC these.
Let me know what you think.

Totally awesome Ryan! You even get 2 for 12 bucks. We could 3d print
a small enclosure for it maybe. Or maybe thats not even necessary.
I'm going to go ahead and order one right now so I can begin
planning the class.
Thanks for the find!

Geno,
I found this today while reading the latest issue of the MagPi:
http://www.amazon.com/Pi-Traffic-Light-Raspberry-pack/dp/B00RIIGD30/
I like this form factor for the traffic light less and may redesign
the traffic light enclosure on thingiverse due to its size and
resulting print time.

I like your application idea a lot! I would be happy to assist in
printing the traffic light enclosures on my printers at home as
well.

Subject: [hackpgh-discuss] Basic Arduino Programming Class
I looked at the previous Basic Arduino class HackPGH did in the
past, and I would like to cover all the topics from the class we
did in the past, but to keep things interesting every year, present
them in a different way.
My idea is this. We 3d print 2 of these for all the students.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14646 ;
The student brings their own arduino (which they got and soldered
together at the soldering class), or just one they already have.
The object of the class will be to control two traffic lights at an
intersection. First just with timing, and then to introduce the ADC
input and map() function to have a small sensor which would make
the light green if a car just arrived at an intersection (like many
real traffic lights at quiet intersections do)
This will teach the student about basic arduino concepts such as
I/O and timing functions such as delay(). In the advanced course we
can introduce how to use interrupts for timing. And it will teach
the students the basics of ADC and very very basics of sensors,
which they can learn more about in the sensors class.
This can actually be a cool practical toy for your kid's RC cars or
hotwheels. They could even build real intersections for a small toy
city. I really wish I had this when I was 9. ;-)
If anyone has suggestions on how to make this class better, ideas
to make the traffic lights more cool, or even better 3d printed
traffic lights we could download, that would be awesome!
This class will most likely take place in April (definitely after
learn to solder)
