LogicCraft Pro Logic Gates Development Board

What is a Logic Gate?

Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of digital circuits. They are essentially tiny electronic switches that perform basic logical operations on digital signals, which are represented by two voltage levels: high (typically 5V) and low (typically 0V). They perform basic logical functions that are fundamental to digital circuits.

In a circuit, logic gates work based on a combination of digital signals coming from its inputs. Most logic gates have two inputs and one output, and they are based on Boolean algebra. At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binaryconditions: true or false. False represents 0, and true represents 1.

Depending on the type of logic gate being used and the combination of inputs, the binary output will differ.

We can also simulate logic gates with an Arduino Uno. What are the advantages learning logic gates using LogicCraft Logic Gate Evaluation Board over simulate logic gates with an Arduino?

• It is easy to get started with Logic Gate dev board for and beginner.
• Can build simple combinational circuits easily and quickly with the development board.
• Has no complexity so beginners can easily learn logic gates.
• No need knowledge about programming.

Basic logic gates with an Arduino

• Upload the below code to your Arduino board.
• Open the serial monitor in your Arduino IDE (usually at 9600 baud).
• Press the buttons connected to input pins and observe the output on the serial monitor.

const int inputA = 2; // Input A pin
const int inputB = 3; // Input B pin
const int outputPin = 7; // Output LED pin (optional)
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication
pinMode(outputPin, OUTPUT); // Set output pin as output (optional)
}
void loop() {
// Read input states
int a = digitalRead(inputA);
int b = digitalRead(inputB);
// Simulate logic gates
int andOutput = a & b;
int orOutput = a | b;
int notA = !a;
// Print results to serial monitor
Serial.print("Input A: ");
Serial.println(a);
Serial.print("Input B: ");
Serial.println(b);
Serial.print("AND Output: ");
Serial.println(andOutput);
Serial.print("OR Output: ");
Serial.println(orOutput);
Serial.print("NOT A Output: ");
Serial.println(notA);
// Optional: Write output to LED (replace with your desired logic)
// digitalWrite(outputPin, andOutput); // Example: Light LED only for AND output
delay(5000); // Add a delay for better readability
