OK, so this is my ece216 project.
Its a traffic light. whopty doo...
yea, took me all of 2 hours to write the code,
and about 4 hours to solder all the pieces on the perf board.
those damn pins on the switches are like 2mm long
so it took a while to get them to stay on there

I used a 16f87a PIC microcontroller, its simple, its fast, it can run loops, and it can count to 5, which honestly come on, its a traffic light, what more do you need

anyway, yea i guess if you were electrical enigineering undergrads i could have posted the sample and hold interface i made a while back, and it would have been more impressive, but who the hell really wants to see a PIC and a few capacitors on a breadboard.
