VISUAL CUE	NARRATION
Slide 1:	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on OpenPLC Traffic Light module.
Slide 2: Learning Objectives* OpenPLC Traffic light module	In this tutorial, we will learn about OpenPLC Traffic light module
Slide 3: System Requirements Ubuntu Linux 18.04 operating system OpenPLC Traffic light module OpenPLC version 1 Mainboard 24V, 2A SMPS	To record this tutorial I am using: Ubuntu Linux 18.04 operating system OpenPLC Traffic light module OpenPLC version 1 Mainboard 24V, 2A SMPS
Slide 4: Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, you should know about OpenPLC version 1 Mainboard. If not, please refer to the relevant tutorials in this series on this website.
Slide 5: Traffic Light module	This module is used to implement the working of traffic lights and visualize the status of any process with the built-in LEDs.
Traffic.jpg	This is a picture of the Traffic light module. This module replicates a traffic light. It has one red LED marked as STOP and one yellow LED marked as READY. At the bottom, it has 3 green LEDs marked as LEFT, GO and RIGHT.
led-connectors.png	You can access all of these LEDs using the connectors present below.
	The red LED can also be accessed through the two connectors on the right of it. If you want to use a single LED you can use these connectors.
	Let us see how to do simple experiments using a single LED.
traffic.jpg	The anode and cathode of the red LED are given as connectors to the right of it. The anode is marked as +5V and cathode as GND, which is Ground.
	These connectors can be connected in 3 different ways. We will see one by one.
traffic.jpg	We can connect +5V pin to 5V. And GND pin to any I/O pin of the microcontroller.
traffic.jpg	Connect GND pin to 0V. And +5V pin to any I/O pin of the microcontroller.
traffic.jpg	Otherwise connect both +5V and GND pins to the I/O pins of the microcontroller.
Led-connectors.png traffic.jpg image	We will see how to use LEDs with the connectors at the bottom of the module. Each LED’s cathode is taken out through connectors at the bottom of the module. Note that the rightmost pin marked as ‘EN’ is not an LED connector.
Led-connectors.png traffic.jpg image	Each connector is marked with the first letter of the respective LED name. We will see one by one starting from right. Ri is for green LED marked as RIGHT S for red LED marked as STOP Re for yellow LED marked as READY G is for green LED marked as GO L is for green LED marked as LEFT.
traffic-enable.png	‘EN’ is an active low enable pin which enables all the LED pins. To the left of the yellow LED, we can find a connector marked +5V. This is the power pin of the module. That is, none of the LED glows unless you make these two connections.
Slide 6: LED to glow (patch-ledtoglow.webm) +5V pin should be given 5V. EN and the respective LED pin should be grounded or given a logic-low signal.	Therefore, for any LED to glow you should follow the below: +5V pin should be given 5V. EN and the respective LED pin should be grounded or given a logic-low signal.
	Now we’ll see the working of the module.
Slide 7: How can the Traffic Light module be powered? Traffic Light module can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard	How can the Traffic Light module be powered? It can be powered using the output power pins of the Mainboard.
SMPS-Mainboard.jpg - add in editing	Connect the SMPS to the Mainboard as shown here.
led-connectors.png	First we will see the demo of this module using the connectors available at the bottom.
demo1.png Point to the image as per narration	Connect 5V to the power pin i.e. +5V pin to the left of the yellow LED. Connect 0V to the ‘EN’ pin. Then, connect 0V to any of the LEDs. I’m connecting it to the pins marked ‘G’, ‘Re’ and ‘S’.
demo1.png	Make the connections as shown in the picture. Remember to turn off the power supply when you change or make new connections.
Turn on the power supply of the Mainboard.	After making all the connections turn on the power supply of the Mainboard. The red, yellow and middle green LED has started glowing.
	Do not use I/O pins of the Mainboard to power up the pin marked +5V. Because it may affect the intensity of the LED.
Disconnect the ‘EN’ pin.	Now disconnect the ‘EN’ pin. We can observe that the all LEDs go off.
Turn off the power supply.	Turn off the power supply.
traffic-sled.png	Next, we will see the demo on how to use this module when a single LED is needed.
demo2.png	Connect 5V to the +5V pin on the right of the red LED. Connect 0V to the pin marked GND.
Turn on the power supply.	Turn on the power supply. This will make only the red LED to glow. Thus, there is no need to connect power and enable pins for this connection.
Turn off the power supply.	Turn off the power supply.
	We have seen how traffic light module can be used in different ways.
	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
