Logic Professor

Digital Logic Teaching and Experiment Board

The Logic Professor is a hands-on teaching aid for teaching digital logic in Computer Science and Electronics. The board contains the building blocks of digital electronic circuits, including logic-gates, D-flip-flops and counters, connected using push-on jumper wires to form a wide range of circuits.

The Logic Professor is ideally suited to schools, colleges and universities for teaching logic from the ground up. It is also a perfect aid for self-teaching digital electronics.

The board contains all the components necessary for teaching all aspects of the current A-Level Electronics specification and the current GCSE and A-Level Computer Science specifications.

A full printed manual is included with 40 example circuits to build.

"I designed the Logic Professor based on my own experience as a teacher. I like students to learn about digital logic in a hands-on way and I found that the equipment I had wasn't up to the job. The logic boards I had access to were very old and didn't line up with the current specification. After a long time searching for suitable replacement boards, I decided that a new product was needed. I designed the Logic Professor from the ground up to contain everything that was required to teach the digital logic components of the current Electronics and Computer Specifications, addressing the limitations I had found with previous devices."
