Arduino UNO Controlled Traffic Light System
This circuit is designed to simulate a traffic light system using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and a traffic light module with green, yellow, and red LEDs. The Arduino sequentially illuminates the LEDs to mimic traffic light behavior: green for 5 seconds, yellow for 2 seconds, and red for 5 seconds, in a continuous loop. The ground (GND) of the traffic light module is connected to the GND of the Arduino, and each LED is controlled by a separate digital output pin on the Arduino (D4 for green, D3 for yellow, D2 for red).

Important Considerations and Best Practices
- Voltage Range: Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range (3.3V to 5V) to avoid damaging the module.
- Polarity: Double-check the connections to avoid reversing the polarity, which could damage the LED.
- Signal Control: When using a microcontroller, configure the GPIO pin as an output to control the LED properly.
- Avoid Overcurrent: Do not bypass the built-in resistor, as it protects the LED from excessive current.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Common Issues and Solutions
LED Does Not Light Up:
- Verify that the VCC and GND connections are correct.
- Ensure the Signal pin is receiving a HIGH signal (e.g., 5V from a microcontroller).
- Check the power supply voltage to ensure it is within the operating range.
LED Flickers or Is Dim:
- Ensure a stable power supply is used.
- Check for loose or poor connections in the circuit.
Module Overheats:
