Welcome to Logisim!
Logisim gives you the capability to design and simulate digital circuits. It is intended as an educational tool, to enable you to learn how circuits can be built.
To practice using Logisim, let's build a XOR circuit - that is, a circuit that takes two inputs and outputs 1 if the inputs are the same and 0 if they are different.
On paper, we could draw this circuit as in the following diagram, but we want to draw it in Logisim.x y | x XOR y
0 0 | 0
0 1 | 1
1 0 | 1
1 1 | 0
Step 0: Starting out
Step 1: Adding gates
Step 2: Adding wires
Step 3: Adding text
Step 4: Testing it out
After you finish the tutorial, play around and navigate through the help system to see what else you can do. The `Advanced Tools' option in the Options menu opens up a lot of new and more confusing things for you to do, enabling you to build and simulate larger and more sophisticated circuits.
Enjoy your circuit-building!
