Looking at Logisim Evolution for digital circuit emulation
The AUDIODiWHY blog looks at Logisim Evolution (L-E), a fork of the Logisim graphical tool for designing and simulating circuits.
L-E: What Can (and Can’t) You Do?
Good news–If your circuit can be realized with 1’s and 0’s you can probably simulate it in L-E.
However, as far as I can tell there is no analog anything in L-E–no ADC’s, no DACs, no op amps, no resistors, no caps, no analog scopes.
In spite of this limitation, or maybe taking advantage of it, I found some amazing Logisim and L-E creations online.
One of my favorites is here, this guy seems to have not only simulated his own 16 bit CPU and PC, but also created a primitive operating system for his sim. Wow!
Read more about digging into L-E in the post here.
You can see more about Logisim Evolution in the video below. See more on the L-E GitHub.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
