Problem Statement 1: Basic Automotive Turn Signal Simulation
Peripheral Used
GPIO, Timer, UART
Description

Expected Output and Testcases
• Simulate Turn Signal Status:
o Left Turn:
▪ Turn on the green LED (LD1) and blink it every second.
▪ Transmit "Turn Signal: Left" via UART.
o Right Turn:
▪ Turn on the yellow LED (LD2) and blink it every second.
▪ Transmit "Turn Signal: Right" via UART.
o Off:
▪ Turn off both LEDs.
▪ Transmit "Turn Signal: Off" via UART.
