Thank you for your purchase of the AC Traffic Light Controller. Our products are engineered to 
provide key elements for understanding electronics design and theory. In fact, we make it our 
goal  to  produce  electronics  that  will  apply  important  electronic  principles  using  analog  and 
digital technology, and easy to find off-the-shelf components. 

Our Programmable series of kits incorporate microcontroller technology due to the simplicity of 
the  electronics  and  ease  of  assembly.  It  allows  for  a  greater  range  of  functionality,  while 
maintaining  a  cost  effective  solution  for  some  of  today’s  more  challenging  electronics  needs 
and requirements. 

The  AC  Traffic  Light  Controller  uses  a  simple  algorithm  to  access  the  selected  pattern  and 
timing in its internal ROM and sequences this information to the LEDs. Each pattern uses 16 
bytes  for  each  step  of  the  unique  pattern.  If  you  are  interested  in  learning  more  about  the 
program feel free to email us at the address listed below.        

Before  getting  starting,  make  sure  you  have  a  VG-305B  Traffic  Light  controller  and  four  (4) 
adhesive  standoffs. If  any of  the listed items  are  missing,  please  contact us  toll  free  at (302)

.  

We appreciate your business, so feel free to provide us with any suggestions or comments you 
may have regarding this kit or any other Galak Electronics kit.
