Program Plan Intro
Switch:
- A switch refers to an electrical device which can make or break an electrical circuit.
- Switches can be operated manually or by some sensing element such as pressure, temperature, or flow.
- A switch consists of one or more sets of contacts that can be operated simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately.

Purpose:
The entry/Exit of the parking lot is a single lane passage. By controlling the indicators, the program ensures that only one car can pass
through the Entry/Exit so as to prevent car accident between entering and leaving cars.
Y1
X1
Program Description:
In the parking lot, there are two light indicators individually directing the entering and leaving cars. By the interlock control circuit, only
one indicator will show "GO" signal and the car accident will thus be prevented.
When an
the same time, the leaving car indicator will show "STOP". Car entering is allowed but leaving is prohibited in this case.
When a leaving car draws near the vehicle control barrier, X1 will be ON and so will Y1. The leaving car indicator will show "GO" and the
entering car indicator will show "STOP"|
draws near the vehicle control barrier, XO will be ON and so will YO. The entering car indicator will show "GO". At

Simple Water Level Indicator with Alarm.
The circuit is designed to indicate three levels of water stored in the tank: low but not empty( Green(LED1)), half ( Yellow(LED2))and full but not overflowing(buzerr).
This circuit is designed using NE555Timer .
The lights in a classroom are controlled by two switches: one at the back and one at the front of the room. Moving either switch to the opposite position turns the lights off if they are on and on if they are off. Assume the lights have been installed so that when both switches are in the down position, the lights are off. Design a circuit to control the switches
