Use Time Functionalities to Wait Between Different States

The video tutorial explains the implementation of a state machine for a traffic light system. It covers the transition between states using triggers, the use of timers to control state durations, and the initialization of constants. The tutorial also includes error handling and testing of the system to ensure correct functionality. The main focus is on creating a non-blocking code structure that efficiently manages state transitions and durations.

What is the initial trigger for transitioning from the red state in the state machine?

• A timer

• A push button

• A remote control

• A sensor

What happens when the push button is pressed in the red state?

• The state changes to yellow

• The state changes to green

• The state remains red

• The state changes to blink green

Why is a timer used when transitioning from the yellow state to the green state?

• To speed up the transition

• To manage state duration without blocking

• To ensure a delay in the transition

• To block the program

What is the purpose of using constants for state durations?

• To allow dynamic changes

• To ensure consistent timing

• To make the code more complex

• To reduce memory usage

How long does the green state last according to the specifications?

• 3 seconds

• 2 seconds

• 1 second

• 4 seconds

How does the state machine handle an invalid state?

• It resets to the red state

• It logs an error

• It continues to the next state

• It stops the program

What is the main advantage of the non-blocking code in the state machine?

• It allows for faster execution

• It increases memory usage

• It simplifies the code

• It reduces power consumption

What is the purpose of the 'all LEDs off' function?

• To reset the system

• To turn off all LEDs before a state change

• To test the LEDs

• To initialize the LEDs

What is the role of the 'update' method in the main file?

• To execute the state machine logic

• To compile the code

• To handle user input

• To initialize the traffic light

What is the final step in testing the traffic light system?

• Compiling the code

• Writing the documentation

• Debugging the code

• Uploading the program to the hardware
