Switch closure

[edit]

Could someone comment on whether the switches should be opening and closing? i.e., it seems to me they should!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.134.22.123 (talk • contribs) 01:02, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The switches are supposed to be momentary normally-open pushbuttons; the wrong electrical symbol was used in the schematic diagram. Ideally, the pushbutton symbol should show the switch closed as long as the mouse button is pressed and should open again after the button is released to simulate the way a switch would behave in a real circuit. The routing of the current through the transistors, resistors and switches should also depend on whether the pushbuttons are open or closed, which would require additional programming in the SVG file. — Quicksilver@ 20:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
