If I was to make that one today I would not use magnetic relays but would use solid state ones. I have a video that explains everything to get a traffic signal working with a PED signal. see it here: th-cam.com/video/ebo0NYuXir4/w-d-xo.html
I used 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe. they sway a small bit but they are OK so long at you don't try to make them too high. for the ends i just used threaded pipe ends with a steel pipe flange at the bottom attached to a wooden base made from a wire spool. for the top I used a Nut just an FYI pvc pipe won't work for signal head as they are very front heavy.
No I don't have any Documentation. You can use an Arduino to drive a traffic Light system with the correct interface from the Arduino to the 120vac lights. There are plenty of Arduino sketches out there that you can connect LEDs like a traffic signal and get a good start on building a full up Traffic Signal controller. This was the third one I made using standard Relays, PIC16F877A microcontroller and PICBasic Pro to program it. Later i made the next one with an Arduino and my own solid state relays using a optocoupler and Triac. I started by building them for model RailRoads. See some of my other videos Ive posted over the last few years where I start small and build up to driving High voltage lights. This is the first one I made before I got a set of real lights: th-cam.com/video/lUfLv8nAnFk/w-d-xo.html This is basically the same I built to drive a set of real lights: th-cam.com/video/lY51qtP4kzs/w-d-xo.html
JRocco 36 thanks, I watched that video after I had already posted this comment... I have a dialite crosswalk with countdown timer but can't figure out how to make it count down
To get it to count down you will need to turn on the Dont Walk then flash the Hand a set number of times. Say 10 times then hold the Don't Walk hand on for a few seconds. after that turn off the DW and turn on the "Walk" and hold it for a few seconds. turn off the "Walk" and start flashing the "Dont Walk"again and it should count down from the number of times you flashed it in the first place. So it should flash and count 10, 09, 08 and so on down to 00 at that point hold the Don't walk for a few seconds. The Basic cycle would be: 1. DW hold a few seconds just for the start of the cycle All Red/DW 2. Flash DW X amount of times 3. Hold DW X seconds 4. Hold WALK X Second then goto 2 and keep cycling 2. 3. 4. 2. 3. 4. over and over again. Think of it as a ring within the whole traffic signal cycle. Some Peds need to cycle twice before the count down shows. The ones I have that do that on the second cycle it will display 00 during the DW Flash. Ya have any questions feel free to ask.
on the PEDs there are 3 wires that come out. one is the neutral, one for WALK and one for DONT WALK. if you put toggle switches on it you can work the display manually. However if you do try to work the display that way Please keep in mind that it uses mains power (120VAC) and you could be putting yourself in danger of a potentially lethal shock.
As I explained above the PEDs have 3 wires that come out. one white for Neutral and two other wires one for the Walk/Man part and one for the Countdown-Hand/Don't Walk. Some use Orange for DW/Hand and Blue for Walk/Man. It depends on the manufacturer what two colors that are used.. for the GE PED displays see: www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/images/traf059-ge-gt1-pedestrian-signals-16x18-incand-install_tcm201-54281.pdf Again remember that these displays like all traffic signals use Mains Power so operating them outside the way they where designed can put yourself at serious risk of a potentially lethal electric shock. Generally I do not run them unless they are safe and the one in the video was just setup as a demo. It would better and safer to use a microcontroller or Arduino and a relay inside a non conductive box to control the display. You can see one I did using an Arduino and solid state relays here: th-cam.com/video/ARHXIEEFRiE/w-d-xo.html That being said if you want to use them manually connect the white wire to the neutral and put a switch in series with the load to the two other wires that control Walk and Don't Walk. flipping the switch connected to the Dont walk a number of times can cause it to count.. Be Safe and careful.
No Traffic Signals and Traffic Control devices are just a hobby of mine.. it all started with these two lights I picked up at a flea market a few years back.. You may like some of my other videos that feature my full up traffic control system..
5:46 All-Red Flash
Normally the pedestrian signals are supposed to be off in that mode because it's a reset mode.
I have no plans to revisit this project since it's no longer in use
@@jrocco36 oh ok, still a good setup btw.
6:00 Conflict Flash
And again pedestrian signals supposed to be off.
I have no plans to revisit this project since it's no longer in use
Very nice 🚦🚦🚦
That sound my favorite
Come on, put some incandescent bulbs in those traffic lights. That's what belongs in those old signals.
What happens if i pair an countdown timer that is from china like sinowatcher, fama traffic
for example what type of transistor,what type of resitor ...
Where did you get those pedestrian signals dont walk and walk?
I got most from a friend I met through Facebook Groups. I am planning on selling some in the near future
please can i know the different components that make it possible to make a traffic light with the pic16f877a ?

Hey man I just got an icc ped signal head. What did you use for posts ?
I used 2" schedule 40 PVC pipe. they sway a small bit but they are OK so long at you don't try to make them too high. for the ends i just used threaded pipe ends with a steel pipe flange at the bottom attached to a wooden base made from a wire spool. for the top I used a Nut
just an FYI pvc pipe won't work for signal head as they are very front heavy.
I want one of those
Where did you get them?
3 years later and still no answer. Sad.
That's a really cool hobby! do you have a y documentation or source code for your microcontroller? love the project
No I don't have any Documentation. You can use an Arduino to drive a traffic Light system with the correct interface from the Arduino to the 120vac lights.

JRocco 36 thank you very much, I couldn't find much online I appreciate the info a d belp
How did you make it so you could manually operate it?

However if you do try to work the display that way Please keep in mind that it uses mains power (120VAC) and you could be putting yourself in danger of a potentially lethal shock.
JRocco 36 how did you do the wiring of the switch and ac mains 120 volt ac?

Do you work for traffic light companies? And do you install traffic lights on intersections?
