Tea Machine- Indicator Light

The next addition to the tea machine is an indicator light that sits just under the coffee maker base. It has three 5mm LEDs, one for each time setting. The green is lit up from 3 and a half to 5 minutes, the yellow indicates 5-10 minutes, and the red is 10 plus minutes. The yellow has a white lens. I added 1000 ohm resistor, shared by all three LEDs.
The timing of the lights is controlled by the arduino. I added the code for the timing of each light. The pins needed to be configured as OUTPUT in order to send the correct current to the LEDs.
