Hello.
For an University project, I need to design a circuit that uses a Synchronous counter to control a streetlight with 4 sides. The sides are South to North, North to south, West to East and East to West. All sides have 3 lights, with the exception of south to north, which has an extra green light (for a total of 4 lights).
I got the counter working, but I don't really understand how can I connect it to the lights for them to stay on for the time needed. The first condition is for the Green light of S-N and N-S and the Red light of W-E and E-W to stay on for the first 5 seconds.
How can I pass a 1 to the lights only in specific instances? Let's assume that the counter is in seconds.
(If you're wondering about the NOR at the bottom, it's because the total time of the cycle is 14 seconds, so I set the counter to go from 1 to 14 only)
I'm using Digital Works for the simulation, in case you want to look at the file. It's in the attachments.
