A (slow) simulator for "electronic circuits" consisting of basic logic gates. Includes a turing-complete machine loaded with a multiplication program. Inspired by Ben Eater's amazing video series building a computer from scratch using simple electronic components.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python main.py
The default machine has a simple multiplication program loaded that takes two integer inputs and outputs their product. The following is an example of multiplying 3 and 5:
The stage of the running program is indicated by the Port OUT: 1 indicates waiting for the first number input, 2 indicates waiting for the second number input. Finally it will compute and output the result.
To input a number, you must switch the correct bits and then toggle the power switch off and back on. 0 is the "power" switch, 1-8 are the bits for input.
In the example, note how we switch inputs 1 and 2 for the number 3 and inputs 1 and 3 for the number 5. We switch input 0 to toggle "power".
