Multiple signals can be selected this way and are displayed simultaneously in nice colours in rows.Īn omission is the interaction with the community. Next the voltage variation over time can be observed. Just select an element and then select e.g. In this circuit I add all the currents in the circuit and display it in the Gauge.Ī scope is also available. An example that I used this for is in a circuit that demonstrates Kirchhoff’s current law. This expression can do certain arithmetic and even contain variables. Even more advanced is the use of an expression in the Gauge element. The Gauge functions very similar to a multimeter in the real world. You can also add a Gauge element for measuring voltage or current over (a certain part) of the circuit. For example I changed the frequency of a square wave over an inductor and watched the voltage on the output decreasing, demonstrating the filtering of higher frequencies. Change the parameters of an element and watch how the behaviour of the circuit changes. Simply click on a piece of wire and click a tickbox to numerically display the current or voltage. You’ll watch the current flowing, LED’s blinking and can hear speakers buzzing. Everything comes to live (or doesn’t if you make a mistake). ICircuit really shines when you simulate the circuit. Many electronic components are already available varying from simple passive components like resistors, capacitors, inductors and relays to digital components like logical gates, DAC or 555 timer. Creating a circuit is as simple as dragging elements into a circuit and then connect with wires. A started very simple with a voltage divider circuit, charging a capacitor and a transistor switch. It’s simple, easy to use and yet very insightful. iCircuit is a great addition to my electronics hobby. It’s an app to easily create electronic circuit and simulate them. I believe the Windows and Android versions are cheaper). I recently bought a copy of iCircuit for OSX (9,99 in the App Store.
