Digital Electronics and Logic

Read this course at: https://siliconwit.com/education/digital-electronics/

A practical course covering the digital building blocks inside every microcontroller. Nine lessons go from binary arithmetic and logic gates to memory, buses, ADC/DAC, and MCU architecture. Each lesson connects directly to embedded programming concepts.

How to Contribute

All commands below work on Linux, macOS, and Windows (using Git Bash, PowerShell, or Command Prompt with Git installed).

For Team Members (with push access)

First time setup (clone the repo once):

git clone https://github.com/SiliconWit/digital-electronics.git
cd digital-electronics

Every time you start working:

git pull origin main

Always pull before making changes. This avoids conflicts with other contributors.

After making your changes:

git add .
git commit -m "Brief description of what you changed"
git push origin main

If you get a push error (someone pushed before you):

git pull origin main

Git will merge the changes automatically in most cases. If there is a conflict, Git will mark the conflicting lines in the file. Open the file, choose which version to keep, then:

git add .
git commit -m "Resolve merge conflict"
git push origin main

Tips to avoid conflicts:

• Always git pull origin main before you start working
• Push your changes as soon as you are done, do not hold onto uncommitted work for long
• Coordinate with other contributors so two people are not editing the same file at the same time

For External Contributors (without push access)

1. Fork the repository: SiliconWit/digital-electronics
2. Clone your fork:

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/digital-electronics.git
   cd digital-electronics

3. Make your changes and commit:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Brief description of what you changed"
   git push origin main

4. Open a Pull Request against main on the original repository
5. Describe what you changed and why in the PR description

Content Standards

• All lesson files use .mdx format
• Do not use <BionicText> in this course
• Use ASCII block diagrams in text code blocks where they aid understanding
• Use truth tables for logic operations
• Use Starlight components (<Tabs>, <TabItem>, <Steps>, <Card>) where appropriate
• Every lesson should include a "How This Connects to Embedded Programming" section
• LaTeX math is fine for formulas (e.g., $2^{8} = 256$)

Local Development

Clone the main site repository and initialize submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules <main-repo-url>
cd siliconwit-com
npm install
npm run dev

To test a production build:

npm run build
