Features

• User-Friendly GUI: Built with Gtkmm 4, providing an intuitive and visually appealing interface.
• Custom Chip Creation: Users can create and save custom chips, which can be reused in other designs.
• Real-Time Simulation: Immediate feedback on circuit behavior without needing to run simulations manually.
• Project Management: Easily save and load projects, allowing for efficient organization of circuit designs.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Gtkmm 4: Ensure Gtkmm 4 is installed on your system. You can follow the official installation guide.

Steps

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/EV-OD/Digital-Logic.git
   cd Digital-Logic

2. Build and Install

   • For Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS):

     mkdir build
     cd build
     cmake ..
     make
     sudo make install

   • For Windows:

     Follow the instructions provided in the INSTALL.md file in the repository for Windows-specific build steps.

Usage

Creating Circuits

1. Start a New Project: Use the main menu to create a new project.
2. Design Your Circuit: Drag and drop components into the creation area.
3. Simulate: Real-time simulation provides immediate feedback.

Custom Chips

1. Create Custom Chips: Design circuits and save them as custom chips.
2. Reuse Chips: Load saved chips into new projects to build more complex designs.

Limitations and Future Work

1. Editing Custom Chips: Currently, editing existing custom chips is limited.
2. Folder Management: The application does not support deleting or renaming folders.
3. Pin Naming: Pins cannot be named, which can make circuit identification challenging.
4. Sequential Circuits: Digisim does not currently support the design and simulation of sequential circuits.
