alice crushhelp with logisim
i need it. While messing around i designed a simple memory unit. It's bassed on an or gate with feed back. This is so simple , but it doesnt work. place an and gate which feeds an or gate. put two user controlled inputs. One to the and gate one to the or. the out put of the or gate feeds back to the and gate. the two user controled inputs are named latch (the or input) and /zero (the and input) The system should work like this...
/zero latch output
1 1 1 and it latches in so when you change to
1 0 1 stays as the out put. so far so good, what should happen
0 0 0 when you lower the /zero input to 0 is the output should drop to 0, right? well logisim instead goes into this state
0 0 Error huh? whats going on here? that's my question...
Help! I'm confused and lost for what's happening.
Please, give me a hint what's going on. Two simple logic gates.... I'll upload the .circ file if you need to see it...

I'm late to the party, sorry...

Are you sure? yes | no
thankyou thankyou thankyou!
it does work like i imagined it! just goes to proove... 2 heads are better than 1.
Are you sure? yes | no
:-D
Are you sure? yes | no
I feel somewhat calmed down, if even you question logisim's correctness, then I'm not crazy... two gates! I've uploaded the circ and added it to trixy's pages. i'd enter a url if i knew how... go have a look at my Trixy project... It's the only file. I'm dieing for your feed back...
Are you sure? yes | no
Well, I got rid of the error.... Your OR gate has a small open floating wire dangling at the bottom input and Logisim sees it as a floating connection and forces a error. Delete the stub and the error is taken care of :-) That is one thing that bugs me about Logisim :-D
Are you sure? yes | no
When you delete connections in Logisim you would think that the entire line would be deleted but noooooo, sometimes a little piece stays behind and if missed, it messes up the whole simulation ;-)
Are you sure? yes | no
Yes. Please upload the .circ file. I think I understand how you have it set up but as I have had a lot of errors with Logisim that actually work with my real Light Logic gates I sometimes question Logisim even though it is my main simulator.
Are you sure? yes | no
uploaded and fixed, yay! thankyou dr cockroach.
Are you sure? yes | no
