A simple digital circuits toolbox that has an intuitive UI. Designed for students studying digital circuits. Built by Jeffrey Xiao, Kevin Pei, Nick Bo, and Daniel Tong. Circuit Buddy was a top 30 finalist at PennApps XV Ad Astra.
Features:
- Auto-updating truth table
- Multiple tabs
- Importing and exporting with json text or images
- Circuit simplification with the Quine–McCluskey algorithm
- Custom components
The backend is a simple flask server that handles the endpoints for openCV and the Quine-McCluskey algorithm. The frontend is vanilla javascript built on FabricJS and Vue for most of the UI components.

To develop locally:
- Clone the repository
- Install dependencies with
node install - Use webpack to watch the client-side js with
webpack --watch - (Optional) Use development node server with
node server
Logic for the quine-mcluskey algorithm is handled in qm.py and openCV in openCv.py. The structure and logic for the user interface is located under components as Vue components. The Vue components call library functions located under lib.
