circuit_emulator 1.0.0

A dart package to simulate circuits.

What is it?

A dart application that uses properties of BehaviorSubject from RxDart to simulate electrical circuits.

Objective:

• Create a Circuit with a Power Unit and an LED - Call execute method of circuit to power the led

Classes:

• LED
• Switch
• Power Unit
• Resistor
• Circuit
• Parallel Connection
• Series Connection

Note: Bold marked components are priority for release version 1.0.0

Common Properties:

• In this ecosystem almost everything is a component.
• A component can hold reference to one or multiple components.
• Each component has at least 2 pins/legs (signed or unsigned i.e: positive, ground, neutral).
• Legs/Pins are not components.
• There will be no connectors. Components will be connected to each other via reference.
• Each component may/may not have a unique id. Individual properties of different classes: Component:
• It's an abstract class / interface. Parent class for all components.

Properties:

• Id [Unique id] (optional)
• Name/Tag [String] (Optional)
• Child [List of Components] (optional)

Circuit:

• A Circuit unit can hold one/more components.
• It has an execute method which can issue change of the states of the components. There might be a validate method which goes through all the components and is called by execute().
• If there are any connections that might cause the circuit to malfunction, the execute method throws an error. For example the positive and negative pins of a power unit might be connected without any other component in between. This will cause the execute() function to throw an error.
• On calling execute, the circuit will find all Power units and give them a command to emit a positive value from the positive pin and negative value from the negative pin.
• Each component can listen to these streams sent by the power source. The component can also emit the received stream to any listeners listening to it.
• If both pins of a component receive the values emitted from the positive and negative pins of the same power source, it can be defined as connected. There can be a status/Rx variable named connected which will be updated every time a component receives a stream. It can be listened to and/or checked by some public method to know the current state of a component.
