Keyboard usage help

  • Use P to toggle global power on/off (You can also click on the green/red rectangle at the bottom)
  • Use H to show/hide the toolbar
  • Use DELETE to delete selected gates from the circuit
  • Use Shift + DELETE to delete the wires of the selected gates in the circuit
  • Use Z and X to decrement/increment buses amount when placing a bus
  • Use R to align selected buses
  • Use F1 to show/hide pin IDs
  • Use Shift when:
    • placing a wire to align it
    • to place an input pin instead of an output one onto the bus
    • to move pins that are on a bus
  • Use Control when:
    • placing a wire to delete the previous point
    • to define a new selection without unselecting the previous one
  • Use Alt to place a wirepoint on the position of the nearest wirepoint on the circuit

Mouse usage help

  • Use the scroll wheel to scale the canvas
  • Use Left click:
    • on pins to enter wire-placing mode
    • to place the chosen block from the menu on the right
    • to toggle a switch on/off
    • to delete a gate if you clicked on the RM GATE button
    • to place a pin on a bus (use Shift to toggle between an input/output pin)
    • to resize a bus horizontally or vertically
    • to connect buses together if you clicked on the CONNECT BUS button
    • to delete a wire if you clicked on the RM WIRE button (click on 2 pins)
    • to move a pin of the bus if the Shift key is pressed too
    • to define a selection area or if you click on the background to unselect the current selection
  • Use Right click:
    • to interrupt an action like creating a bus, deleting a gate or a wire
    • to move the camera
    • to move selected gates or selected wire points
    • to open the gate properties menu where you can change the label, remove a pin (if you clicked on a bus pin), and so on
    • to look inside a chip

Web version changes

  • To load a file, upload it and then click the Load button
  • To load chips into your project (dependencies), upload them by using the second upload button. Once uploaded, you find them in the sidebar on the right.
  • Use the slider to scale the UI
  • Toggle the Move button to move around the scene or to move the gates in your project (instead of the right-click)
  • Some buttons in the toolbar are replacements for the keys DELETE, R, SHIFT, CONTROL and ALT

Examples

Individual project files are available in the examples directory.
