Welcome to the real world of logic circuits! Learn how to design a pulse width meter circuit using basic logic functions on a breadboard. Understand inputs from sensors, signal processing by logic gates, and output value display. Follow tips for neat wiring and efficient circuit performance.
E N D
What to do ? • Input from the mangonel sensors • Input expected by the software
How to do ? • Input arrives from sensors • Logic circuit combines and inverts inputs to create a single pulse • PICAXE measures the pulse duration and outputs the value to seven segment displays
NAND gate Input A Output Input B
AND NOT Basic Logic functions (gates): OR

Tips and tricks: • Be tidy: Keep the wires short. This improves reliability. • Wire Colours does not affect the performance a circuit, but does affect the performance of a person trying to understand it. • Connected wires are marked with a dot. • Remember about the power supply. • Do not forget to connect • Do not forget to switch OFF when making changes.
