## Running the simulator - [Running the simulator](./tutorials/running.md)
- [Controls](./tutorials/controls.md)
There are 3 ways to get the simulator up and running: - [Building a 4-bit adder](./tutorials/4-bit-adder.md)
1. Using [the version hosted on heroku](https://logic-gate-simulator.herokuapp.com/):
This is by far the fastest solution - everything you need to do is open
[the github-pages url](https://logic-gate-simulator.herokuapp.com/)
2. Using a development server:
First you need to have [node.js & npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) installed on your machine.
Open a terminal in the desired folder and run:
```sh
# Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/Mateiadrielrafael/logicGateSimulator
# Cd into the folder
cd logicGateSimulator
# install dependencies
npm install
# run development server
npm run dev
```
3. Building the simulation yourself
First, clone the repo and install the dependencies as explained in option 2.
To build the source run:
```sh
# build program
npm run build
```
To then run the simulation, open a server in the dist directory. A simple solution using npm:
```sh
# instal nano-server globally
npm i nano-server -g
# change directory
cd dist
# run server
nano-server
# linux
open http://localhost:5000
# Windows
start http://localhost:5000
```
## Building a 4 - bit adder:
1. Create a new ic called `half-adder` (`Create simulation` > `Integrated circuit` > `Half adder`)
2. Add the following logic gates (`Logic gates` > the name of the gate):
- 2 buttons
- 2 light bulbs
- a XOR gate
- an AND gate
> You can get more info about these gates by clicking `Logic gates` > the <i class='material-icons'>info</i> icon at the rght of the gate.
3. To move a gate, drag & drop it with the right mouse button. To connect 2 pins, click once on each. Build the following configuration:
![Half adder](./assets/half-adder.png)
3. Create a new ic called `full-adder` (See step 1)
4. Add the following gates (See step 2):
- 3 buttons
- 2 light bulbs
- 2 half adders
- an OR gate
5) Build the following configuration (See step 3):
![Full adder](./assets/full-adder.png)
6) Create a new project called `4-bit-adder` (`Create simulation` > `Project` > `4-bit-adder`)
7) Add the following components (See step 2):
- 8 button
- 5 light bulbs
- 3 full adders
- 1 half adder
8) Build the following configuration (See step 3):
![4-bit-adder](./assets/4-bit-adder.png)
9) Enjoy!
Congratiulations! You've made your first circuit! With this simulator at your dispossal, the possibilities are endless! Here are a few things you can try and create yourself: - A 4-bit substractor - A counter - Different latches - If you are confident in you skills, you can even make a full 4-bit processor!
