  • Doing Lab 2 was very different experience compared to Lab 1 because we moved from physical breadboarding to using the Deed Simulator. It's really interesting I could simply choose components such as input, output, OR gate, then connect them with wires and immediately test how the circuit functions. The most challenging part of this lab was completing the truth table for the LRT station problem statement in part 2. I found it a bit difficult to handle four inputs at the same time, the coach status and three sensors, which required a lot of focus. Another interesting part was converting the circuit into a NAND gates only. Actually it was confusing especially the second circuit which the output ALARM to convert to NAND gates, but it helped me understand the the concept of universal gates more deeply. After successfully get the same output for the original circuit and the NAND gates circuit, this showed me that complex logic circuit can be implemented using only one type of gate. This Lab 2 was not carried out in the lab, but my partner and I managed to complete this lab together. We shared ideas and compared our answers to avoid mistakes, and I thankful that we were able to complete and submit the lab on time.
