From Karnaugh Map groupings to Logic Circuits
The Karnaugh Map is powerful because it lets you visually simplify a Boolean function by grouping 1's or 0's. But how is that implemented as a circuit? Karnaugh Xplorer now bridges that gap with an Interactive Logic Diagram: the moment you pin a solution, a circuit is rendered displaying the AND, OR, and NOT gates wired exactly the way your simplified expression is.
Every input variable becomes a switch you can flip. Toggle one, and watch the signal propagate live through each gate until it reaches the output LED: lit when the function evaluates to 1, dark when it doesn't.
Switch state is preserved as you explore different valid solutions for the same function, so you can compare how each simplified expression implements the identical truth table with a different gate structure.
Additional Improvements
- Subtle decimal indices (0, 1, 3, 2, ...) now appear in the corner of every Karnaugh Map cell.
Every Karnaugh Map cell now displays the decimal index of its term in the bottom-left corner. - A new 6-step guided onboarding tour walks first-time visitors through the whole workflow.
