Building circuits

Components can be dragged and dropped from the components window on the left side into the workspace on the right side. Pneumatic, electrical and logical circuits can be constructed this way.

Starting/Stopping the simulation

The start/stop buttons in the top bar can be used to start/stop the simulation. If there are no errors in the circuits, the simulation should run and the start icon should turn green.
