Engineering Constructing a Layout with ALUs in CircuitMaker

  • Thread starter Thread starter h2o v2
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on constructing a layout in CircuitMaker that simulates the operation X + Y -> X using ALUs, switches, and lights for input and output. Participants clarify that X, Y, and A should be treated as gates, while O represents the output. There is uncertainty about how ALUs function within CircuitMaker, as some users are unfamiliar with their operation. The need for a control switch settings table to execute the specified operation is emphasized. Overall, the conversation revolves around understanding the components and functionality required for the simulation task.

Homework Statement



You must construct the following layout :

and simulate it, additionally using switches and lights for data input and display.

The simulation must carry out the operation X + Y -> X.

Produce a table of control switch settings which carries out the operation described.


I'm guessing that X, Y, A should be gates, and O should be the output? Do you think that's correct? Also for the ALU, how does that work? I've never used ALUs in CircuitMaker before so I'm not quite sure how they work.
