The basic functionality is there, and I really like the visualization of current flow when a circuit is completed, but all of the UI interactions feel really hard to use, a few examples: Giving it 2 stars instead of one just because it is a nice visual tool for school students to explain basics of how elements work and give ability to create some "ideal world" schematics in a nice UI. Now modelling passives is annoying but reasonably feasible, modelling semiconductors is something is something you wouldn't even consider doing, especially when they have proper spice models and can be simply plugged in into any proper software. Let alone - parametrized models for semiconductors, not even reverse breakdown for diodes. You have to use equivalent schematic for every single passive because it doesn't have a concept of even such trivial things as parasitic resistance/capacitance/inductance (which seems so trivial to implement - I wouldn't think it is not available here). Got fooled by the nice UI and thought I could use it instead of free ltspice (or other similar open tool).Īpparently this tool doesn't go beyond sleek UI even in the most basic and trivial capabilities. This is extremely basic tool with fancy UI and almost nonexistent real life application * Dark mode and light mode can now be automatic or manual * Better contrast in the element popup editor * Resistance, Frequency, RMS, PP, Min and Max Voltage measurement mode on Gauge * Improved support for Arduino structs and arrays * Rotate command to quickly re-orient elements * Wire colors with controllable thickness Version 1.12.2 improves subcircuits and contains all the new features and bug fixes from the big 1.12 release: I hope you love the ease of simulating circuits with iCircuit! Antenna with simulated AM and FM signals.Audio simulation with Speakers, Microphones, Buzzers, and LEDs.LEDs, Diodes, BJ Transistors, and MOSFETs, Thermistors.Manual SPST/SPDT and DPST/DPDT Switches, Push buttons, and Relays.Signal generators, Voltage sources, Current sources, and Dependent sources.Programmable PIC controllers using assembly language or hex files.Programmable Arduino using a subset of the C programming language.Scope data can even be exported for offline analysis. You can even export your circuits and PNGs, PDFs, and SVG files so that they are easy to include in reports or web sites. The scope can simultaneously track many signals over time and features a variety of automatic modes that make it easy for you to grasp the behavior of your circuit. If you want to see how a value changes over time, then you can add values to the built-in oscilloscope. The app features a multimeter that you use to probe around the circuit to instantly read voltages and currents. The app has everything from simple resistors, to switches, to MOSFETS, to digital gates. There are over 300 elements you can use to build your circuits. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on! You do not stop to take a measurement or spend a lot of time configuring reports. It's just like working with the real circuit. But iCircuit is unlike other CAD programs because it is always simulating. You use it as you would any CAD program: you add elements, connect them together, and set their properties. It is the perfect companion to students, hobbyists, and engineers. Its advanced simulation engine can handle both analog and digital circuits, Arduino microcontrollers, and features realtime always-on analysis. ICircuit is the easiest way to design and experiment with circuits.
