Abstract

A portable logic design testing module detachably integrates with a breadboard, and connects with other logic design modules on the breadboard to form larger testing systems. The logic design module provides input signals through at least one input module, and displays output signals through at least one output module. The module utilizes interconnecting circuits for modularizing adjacent modules, logic switches for controlling logic binary numbers, counters for incrementally manipulating the binary numbers, LEDs for displaying the binary numbers, and a display for displaying the binary numbers. The module detachably connects to the breadboard through a six-pin header to enable facilitated displacement between different regions of the breadboard. Additionally, the logic design module possesses modular characteristics, operatively connecting with adjacent logic design modules to increase bit size and testing capacity. The relatively small size, modular configuration, and cascadable capacity of the module enables replacement of logic design training kits.
