Traffic Signal Setup 4 

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. I’ve watched some of your basement setups for a few years now. It’s always awesome to see what you’ve worked on!

I am glad I am not the only one that has a love for those. Mine are in storage right now, unfortunately. I can't wait until I am in a position to take them out again and display them.

Same

Thank you!

IKR!

I’ve consider a crosswalk button, and actually I have one. I’ll just need to make a new controller that is able to have a button on the system. As for a railroad crossing signal, I’ve also always wanted one. Unfortunately they seem to be very expensive and quite large. Maybe one day in the future!

I have been interested in railroad crossing and they are very cool as well as traffic signals especially the incandescent lights that fade away when u move

I agree. Unfortunately they are becoming less common since most are being upgraded to LED.

Its so true how they didn't stay with that design for lights

Thanks! You can find them at most hardware stores. However I order mine from an online construction supply site.

They don’t, and I’ve never heard of such feature before.

@@ExitSign250 in some places the traffic lights have that feature, a family member told me about it since they used to work as a truck driver.

Interesting. That must be a special application.

Thanks! I usually only run them if I’m in the backyard or I just want to see them in action.

@@ExitSign250 What do the Neighbors think?

I’m actually not sure! Believe it or not I’ve never had any neighbors comment or ask about my backyard signals.

Probaly just a timer circuit

I have an Arduino board controlling it all. It runs a custom program I made.

@@ExitSign250 Thats awesome. Ever interested in taking real traffic control PLCs and trying to make them work? Like you do with your fire control panels. I would love to see exploring traffic control electronics.

As much as I’d like to do that, I don’t don’t the room or the budget to get one of those up and running. But maybe one day in the future.

@@ExitSign250hi love the set up! Can you release the softwire for just the two traffic signals I am rely interested in doing it my self and I don't know much about coding. if you cant its ok.

Thanks! LED is far superior to incandescent. But I’m guessing you like incandescent bulbs for the appearance of their light output. I prefer LED’s for the low current draw and the longer life. I’ve chosen LED bulbs that closely resemble incandescent.

@@ExitSign250 I love the fade of Incandescent

I really like the fading too! The LED bulbs I use have a fade effect, it’s just harder to see on camera.

@@ExitSign250 ah

I do like the combination of the yellow pedestrian signal body with a black door, and I didn’t say I disliked them in this video. I just do not like the bright yellow on the signal body. I’d like to find a dark yellow paint.
