Gates Schematic Request To Make Designing Easier. #211

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Hi,

I've had a look for my question but can't find it.
As there is an op-amp symbol (although nothing in the drop down box), and 
diodes both as schematic and diodes scaled as component parts, I'd like to 
request the following.

Basic gates?
-----------
BUFFER, INVERTING, OR, AND, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR etc.

And since most gates are found in chips such as the 74 and 4000 series etc, the 
user can then use the DIYLC chip part, a schematic of a chip pinout, adjust the 
pin count, and place the chip on the board and match up the legs to the 
schematic.

I think that would be a very useful method of adding many basic and useful 
chips to a circuit without needing to design an entire database of hundreds or 
even thousands of individual chip pinouts. Idealy if the icons of the basic 
gates could be resized then the user could even overlay the gates onto the chip 
in their design.

I've attached a logic probe from Talking Electronics website that I'm now using 
DIYLC to design, print and build, as well as the gates I would like to see in 
either a septerate tab, or in the drop down of the op-amp within DIYLC.

I read that you were trying to discover a way of designing components that made 
it easy and followed a set of rules such that users could design their own 
components. Sadly as much as I would love to help build just some of the parts 
database, I'm not able to help program (I could just about do BBC, Spectrum, 
Commodore style BASIC), I've not even got my head around Windows, let alone JDK 
is it? I'm struggling with PIC chip programming.

Hope you like the idea and will implement it soon...

Regards,
John...
