New logic?

[johndxmurphy]

I just noticed the New Logic icon and pressed it. It looks interesting but I don't know how to use it. So far I've found nothing under the help menu that educates me. Could someone point me in the right direction?

This is a very simple feature that is designed as an educational teaching aid more than a professional method of programming - as many exam boards require students to understand the operation of 'traditional' logic gates.

Basically you have input 'dots' on the left of the screen and output 'dots' on the right. You can then combine inputs to drive outputs by dropping different logic gates on screen and 'wiring' them together.

Then click PICAXE>Convert Logic to BASIC and you will have a PICAXE program equivalent to download into the chip

Okay, that sounds good. I put in some gates but don't readily see how to connect "wires".

Go back to the main menu, select the line drawing tool, move the mouse over an input dot and click to start a line, click to add more corners, then draw the line out to the gate and click to end the line when it 'snaps' to the gate input.
