iCircuit 3D - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

iCircuit 3D gives you an endless virtual workbench upon which to design and test your electronics projects. It combines the robust electronics simulation engine of the original iCircuit with the latest rendering and 3D physics technology of iOS.

Don’t let the physical availability of parts be a constraint on your creativity! Choose from an expansive library of more than 150 physically and electronically simulated parts and over 1,000 reference boards to build and test your circuits for flaws, simulate your physical designs, and test your Arduino code in a fun sandbox environment. Each of these parts is adoringly rendered to look like the real thing so that you can enjoy the beauty of electronics.

When powered, LEDs light up realistically, DC motors spin, and speakers make noise! Follow the flow of current along your simulated wires, and see pinout and color code data on the circuit components themselves. Tapping a part gives you quick access to simulated values such as voltage and current and also allows you to change the parameters of the part. In the event of a wiring issue or an over-stressed element, magic smoke will billow from the point of failure, making it easy to locate, diagnose, and fix errors. Add photographs and other reference images to the environment to keep them close at hand. You can even import your own 3D models to attach your electronics to, or use Blocks to build an enclosure, or a panel for them!

Features:

* Tons of resistors, capacitors, and LEDs
* Multiple breadboard and wiring elements
* Diodes, Transistors, and MOSFETs
* DC power supplies
* Waveform Generators to make AC, Square, and Sawtooth signals
* Various batteries, including AA, AAA, 18650, and coin
* Switches, including SPST and SPDT
* Buzzers and speakers
* DC motors and Servos
* Programmable Arduino elements!
* The full symbolic original iCircuit library
* Over 1,000 reference circuit boards. These are not fully simulated, but are great for layout out your designs.
* Import custom circuit elements in Eagle Board or Fritzing element formats (imported circuits won’t simulate, but you can at least wire them up)
* Import custom 3D models to attach your projects to, and simulate their behavior on the workbench
* Import images for reference or documentation, and they’ll appear as physical photographs

All of these are available in the 3D work environment that mimics an electronics workbench. When you add parts, they land on the table due to gravity. From there you can drag them around and connect them to each other by drawing wires between their ports. When a circuit is completed, they start simulating. Once connected to each other, wires stay connected no matter where the part is positioned. You can stick them to other parts to make panels and structures, or just leave them laying on the bench haphazardly, like I do.

iCircuit 3D was designed with a strong emphasis on fun and exploration and there are a lot more features along those lines to discover!

I hope you enjoy this new take on circuit software.

Mostly Useless

> 3d gimmick adds nothing of value to designing electronics > Arduino implementation doesn’t work, even using their own demo sketch > Background options don’t allow Snap To Grid, so getting anything to line up nicely takes forever. > Wiring looks like spaghetti. No option to align or control wire placement. > Most modules don’t do anything, so this is an electronics emulator that has components that aren’t emulated The iCircuit version works much better, at much lower cost.

Great app bUt

Awesome app but is a little finicky to use especially using bread board and others. It would have been nice to link Wikipedia to the info the same as regular ICircuit. I think this app is great but could be refined. Also for the 20 dollars it’s not really worth it right now. I would say buy the original first and use that it’s more straight forward.

This app rocks!

This is an awesome way to fiddle with standard electronic and Arduino components in a fun, easy to understand way. The selectiion of components is well thought out, it uses the iPad and iPhone capabilities very well to make the circuit simulations relevant and analogous to typical Maker components. Now comes the begging: - Could you add Teensy boards like the 3.6 and 4.1? - Could you add serial console output like the Arduino IDE has and (what would get the widest audience) MIDI interface to IOS. The # of people crafting musical interfaces with Arduino components is through the roof. Having <midi.h> library working in the Arduino sims would grab a huge audience of Makers. Great job! I love it!
