LEGO Logic Gates - NAND Gate

Digital devices such as computers, tablets and cell phones are all built using a set of chips that store and process information. These chips in turn are built using logic gates, a device that implements a Boolean function. Logic gates can be physically implemented using different materials like diodes or transistors but their logical behavior is the same across all devices.

A NAND logic gate is a primitive gate and can be used to derive other standard gates. Inspired by Scott Wiedemann's video I decided to implement a NAND, NOT AND,  gate using LEGO pieces. 



I have provided a step-by-step guide (thanks Lego Digital Designer) to build this gate.  All LEGO parts were ordered through BrickLink.

You can also click here to see a video of this logic gate. 

Happy playing!
