Logic Gates

With Logic Gates the name won't really tell you much. Don't mistake it for a game. This electrical simulation, while not worthy of being called a tool, could very well be your means of practice for an exam that has to do with electrics and electrical connections. While it looks simple, the concepts it tries to teach users are quite the opposite.

This application won't tell you the history of electrical equipment, dates, and facts about it. It's a straightforward practicing app. You'll have to read all about it before even thinking of using it, of course, unless you want to simply browse and aimlessly play with it. The controls are basic. All you will need is your mouse and keyboard. Add components with LMB and connect them with RMB and a drag gesture. The Q key will delete any wrongly placed elements, while the E key will activate the ones you have placed in your simulation.

Once again, this program does not make a lot of sense if you haven't studied at least the basics of the laws of electricity. There are not many electrical elements you can make use of currently. In fact, the whole palette of choice boils down to five components: switches, LEDs, AND/XOR/OR gates. Connecting these components needs to make sense which is where all your studying and learning comes into play. The app won't let you randomly connect elements. As far as it is concerned, this program can be used for learning purposes, either used privately by students or in a class by professors. It could even be homework.

Logic Gates is a simple application with a lot of potential. Its purpose is to teach, and that is as important as any other function an app may have. This is why people especially fond of the laws of electricity should consider at least trying this application. It could make a difference in those moments when learning all that information doesn't seem to make any sense.
