Traffic light using IC 4017 course, in this course you’ll learn how to create a functioning traffic light system using the IC 4017 decade counter, a foundational component in sequential circuit design. This course covers the basics of the IC 4017, how it works as a Johnson counter, and its ability to sequence outputs with precision. We'll integrate the IC 4017 with a 555 timer to generate pulses, which control the timing of each traffic light in the sequence (red, yellow, green). You’ll explore practical circuit-building techniques, connecting LEDs to the IC 4017's outputs to replicate real-life traffic light behavior. The course will guide you through setting up the timing for each light, adjusting intervals, and troubleshooting common issues in circuit operation. Hands-on exercises will allow you to design, build, and test your own traffic light system, gaining valuable experience in sequential logic and timing control without the need for programming. By the end, you’ll have a fully operational traffic light circuit, enhancing your understanding of counters, timers, and practical electronics for real-world applications in control systems.
