CNS HowTo 01 install and setup on Windows
An instruction how to install the CirNavS in three steps ( or two steps if you already have java running on your computer).
Step 1: download and install the CNS from cirnavsys.com/download
Step 2: download and install java e.g. from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html
Step 3: open the CirNavSys and go through its setup routine.

CNS HowTo 02 create and simulate a circuit (with KiCad)
Creating a circuit in KiCad and simulating it in the CirNavSys: After installing, you might want to create your own circuits in KiCad and simulate them in the CirNavSys. This image series does exactly that: Here we create a small example circuit in KiCad, and then simulate it in the CirNavSys.

Digital Circuit 01 Inverter
Explaination how an inverter (also called "NOT-gate") works in the usual cmos technology.
The inverter is one of the three fundamental elements of digital electronics, together with the AND-gate and the OR-gate.

Digital Circuit 03 OR-gate
Explaination how an OR-gate works in the usual cmos technology.
The OR-gate is one of the three fundamental elements of digital electronics, together with the AND-gate and the inverter. It consists of three NMOS transistors and three PMOS transistors. One pair of NMOS and PMOS form an inverter, the rest forms an NOR-Gate. The output of the NOR is inverted to OR. That is why most integrated chips that form an OR, also have an output for the NOR: it simply does not need any more transistors, because the NOR is already created. So you need only one pin to carry out the NOR.
