Abstract:
There exists a need for a tool which provides visual, real-time feedback on simple combinational circuit design, especially at an introductory level.  Currently, a primary method of teaching such designs is for the instructor to sketch a circuit out on a blackboard.  This has the advantages of providing visual representation of the overall structure of a circuit and allowing corrections and/or modifications to be made easily.  A key disadvantage is that while the structure is apparent, the actual state (on/off) of each component is not.  Calculation of this state can be a laborious process for anything other than a trivial case.
