Arduino - Led Blink

After testing with Tinkercad Simulator I've connected my Arduino circuit board to my computer and opened the Arduino software and tested the first basic example with a LED blinking

Arduino traffic light cars and pedestrians

Code

int carRed = 12;
int carYellow = 11;
int carGreen = 10;
int pedRed = 9;
int pedGreen = 8;
int button = 2;
int crossTime = 5000;
unsigned long changeTime;

int x;

void setup(){
  pinMode(carRed, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(carYellow, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(carGreen, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(pedRed, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(pedGreen, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(button, INPUT);
  digitalWrite(carGreen, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(pedRed, HIGH);

}

void loop(){
  int state = digitalRead(button);
  if (state == HIGH && (millis() - changeTime) > 5000){
    changeLights();
  }
}
void changeLights(){

  digitalWrite(carGreen, LOW);
  digitalWrite(carYellow, HIGH);
  delay(2000);

Test in Tinkercad simulator

Circuit test 

Arduino - Photoresistor - LED brightness
 

Testing LED brightness with photoresistor in Tinkercad and Arduino IDE

Arduino alarm with LED-LDR-Buzzer
Arduino servomotor
Colour shifting obstacle detector using ultrasonic sensor - Arduino Hub

It is a simple project to detect obstacles in various distances. The sonar sensor detects the distance between the object and the board and based on the distance from the board it lights up Red, Yellow and Green LED.

When the object is too close to the board (10 centimeters) it lights up Red LED as an indication of caution.

It lights up Yellow LED when the object is between 11-100 centimeter. If the object is detected outside of the 100-centimeter range, it lights up Green LED as an indication of the object in safe range.
