Testing the LCD Nokia 5110 display with the tiva Launchpad
Little video to just test that I've bought the correct hardware and that it is working

Edx Lab 10: Traffic Lights.
Well, well, well. I'm doing this course from Edx, "Embedded Systems Shape the World", which is seriously true. Just think in the traffic lighst of a city (if it was me doing the traffic lights I won't have money enough to pay the insurance companies!)
And that was the purpose of Lab10. You can find my "dishonrable" code in bitbucket: https://agudo@bitbucket.org/agudo/edx_labs.git
Here you can see some pictures and a video (at the end) of the WORKING! hardware (I would like as well to upload a Finite State Machine, or FSM, diagram but right now the only one I've is in white paper and black pen).
I've not adjusted the timing. I think it would be a good lab to implement a real hardware circuit with KiCAD, just 6 Leds (3 in each plate) a few resistors and 3 push buttons. When I finish all these MOOC where I'm suscribed I will begin to make a first and simple circuit.
Let's the rock begin!
For me the real FSM has around 18 states but to pass the grading with no headache I implemented the 9 states noted in the description of the lab.
