circuit_emulator

Description:

circuit emulator

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.
