Hades documentation
This page links to the public documentation about the Hades framework. As with many university projects, the documentation is updated less frequently than the software itself, as-time-allows. Please forgive minor divergences between software and documentation.For a general introduction, please download and read the Hades tutorial (PDF format). It explains the installation and basic usage of the simulator and editor, but also includes some reference material and an introduction to writing your own simulation models.
For an up-to-date list of recent changes and known bugs, just start the Hades editor and select the 'CHANGES' menu item from the 'Help' menu.
Naturally, the 200+ interactive applet demos on this website also constitute a lot of documentation about the Hades framework and digital logic. Just browse through the applet collection and play with the circuits as you like.
