In this tutorial video we will create and simulate the Arduino controlled blinking LED circuit on the screen with TINACloud.

First, we created the circuit using the schematic editor of TINACloud. Next we loaded and compiled the Arduino code.

Let’s quickly follow the operation of the C code:

Initialize the digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.

Call the loop function to create an infinite loop for the instructions between the opening { and closing } braces

Turn the LED On with a logic HIGH voltage.

Create a 5ms delay

Turn the LED Off with a logic Low voltage.

Create a 5ms delay

Return to the { opening brace  of the loop function.

Now Compile the code by clicking the “Compile” button.

Next click the “Save all”button to save the compiled code.

The Half Adder is a so called combinational circuit, to add two single binary digits and provide the output plus a carry value. It has two inputs, called A and B, and two outputs S (Sum) and C (Carry).

The relation between inputs (A, B) and the outputs (Sum. Carry) is described by the so called Truth Table. The Truth Table for the Half Adder is as follows:

In this tutorial video we created and tested a Half Adder circuit unsing TINACloud.

We used an XOR gate for the Sum and an AND gate for the Carry, High-Low switches and Voltage pins for the outputs. We then tested the circuit operation using Transient analysis and the Interactive mode of TINACloud.
