Logic Gates Using Go Channels

I've been using Go as my primary development language for over 2 years now. I thought the language's concept of channels was pretty cool. I used to wonder if I can make simple logic gates using channels and if they can be put together to form circuits.

This is my attempt!

Examples

Trying a simple AND gate

Code

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/danishm/andornot/gates"
)

func main() {
	board := gates.DefaultBoard()

	gate := gates.AND(board)
	gate.Pin1() <- 0
	gate.Pin2() <- 1
	out := <-gate.Out()

	fmt.Println(out)

	board.Stop()
}

Output

0

Construct a NAND gate using AND and NOT

Code

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/danishm/andornot/gates"
)

func main() {
	board := gates.DefaultBoard()

	// Create a NAND gate
	and := gates.AND(board)
	not := gates.NOT(board)
	board.Connect(and.Out(), not.Pin1())

	// See if it works
	and.Pin1() <- 1
	and.Pin2() <- 0
	out := <-not.Out()

	fmt.Println(out)

	board.Stop()
}

Output

0
