LogicalArt Digital Circuit Sim 1.9.0

Build, Simulate, and Understand

This application serves as a digital breadboard, designed as a cross-platform circuit simulator tailored for beginners, students, and hobbyists interested in exploring the realm of computer science.

• Easy Gate Manipulation

  The interface allows users to add, move, and delete groups of gates through intuitive touch or mouse gestures. The design minimizes clutter and enhances usability with organizational features such as naming conventions and color labels, promoting clarity in circuit functions.

• Chip System

  This feature enables users to encapsulate gates into a self-contained chip with defined inputs and outputs. Such chips function as customized logic components, ideal for developing scalable systems including d-flip flops, adders, registers, program counters, ALUs, and more.

• Share Your Creations

  Users can export and share their circuits or clips with peers, providing an excellent avenue for teaching or showcasing designs.

• Waveform Viewer and EEPROM

  This functionality visualizes signal changes over time, aiding in debugging and promoting a deeper understanding of circuit behavior.

• Cross-Platform Compatibility

  The application supports multiple platforms, allowing users to carry their circuits conveniently across devices.

Purpose Behind the Application

The impetus for developing this application stemmed from personal experiences in self-learning computer science and software engineering. The creator reflects on how a more engaging and comprehensible tool might have accelerated their own journey.

This hands-on learning tool invites users to discover computer engineering principles by simulating the process of constructing an 8-bit computer from the ground up using just four fundamental logic gates. The application provides an accessible yet rewarding way to learn concepts relevant to Computer Systems courses or simply satisfy curiosity about the inner workings of computers, all without the risk of damaging components or dealing with complex wiring.

With an emphasis on touchscreen interaction, the user experience is designed to be both intuitive and tactile, allowing ideas to be expressed directly on a digital breadboard.

• Engage in enjoyable circuit building right at your fingertips.
• User feedback is welcomed to enhance the application further and introduce new features.
