This is my first computer, so it only has one function: Being a traffic light controller. The red light lasts for a longer time than yellow and green. It's full automatically. Please comment so I can improve it.

    Hey, it's programmable (By replacing the wifi). And that was my first automatic electric machine I ever made, so I thouht it would be a computer

    With the water resistors, I could control the delay better. And now I'm working on my own IF-THEN-Machine (completely useless, but good to learn :)

    here is a version that uses switching and dlay. it seems complex but it uses basic electronic elements and interactions. It is still not a computer but it is more sophisticated and you may be able to learn from it. id:1543327

    it is a control circuit and it works. you might consider using DLAY instead of giant water resistors.

    No. your just turning them on and off in sequence. there is nothing deciding if a light is green or not. it just send an off to the green and an on to the yellow and it does the same for yellow to red. and it continues on and on and on with no inputs. if you had some kind of detection circuit to "know" the state of the lights then maybe. currently no logic of any kind is bing employed here. thats not to say your not on the track to making better saves. its just not a computer.
