Description

iCircuit is the premier iPad and iPhone app for designing and experimenting with circuits and Arduinos. Its advanced simulation engine can handle both analog and digital circuits and features realtime always-on analysis. It is the perfect companion to students, hobbyists, and engineers.

You use it as you would any CAD program: you add elements, connect them together, and set their properties.

But iCircuit is unlike other CAD programs because it is always simulating. It's just like working with the real circuit. You do not stop to take a measurement or spend a lot of time configuring reports. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on!

There are over 300 elements you can use to build your circuits. The app has everything from a programmable Arduino, to simple resistors, to switches, to MOSFETS, to digital gates.

The app features a multimeter that you use to probe around the circuit to instantly read voltages and currents. If you want to see how a value changes over time, then you can add values to the built-in oscilloscope. The scope can simultaneously track many signals over time and features a touch interface to control the total time displayed and stacked and unstacked modes to easily compare signals. The scope can also display the Fourier transform of any signal so that you can see the performance of filters.

Supported elements include:

• Programmable Arduino using a subset of the C programming language
• Programmable PIC controllers using assembly language or hex files
• Signal generators, Voltage sources, Current sources, and Dependent sources
• Resistors, Capacitors, and Inductors
• Manual SPST/SPDT and DPST/DPDT Switches, Push buttons, and Relays
• LEDs, Diodes, BJ Transistors, and MOSFETs, Thermistors
• Triodes and tetrodes
• Audio simulation with Speakers, Microphones, Buzzers, and LEDs
• DC Motors and Servos
• ADCs, and DACs
• Logic gates: AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR
• JK and D Flip-flops
• 180 digital ICs from the 4000 and 7400 series
• 78xx and LM317 voltage regulators
• 7-segment and matrix displays
• Antenna with simulated AM and FM signals

You can also create sub circuits to introduce new elements and componentize your designs.

No matter your skill set, you'll be playing with circuits in no time with iCircuit.

Hall effet sensor

Jean3xyz on

Why is there no hall effect sensor in this application? it is absurd! it is a system that is found everywhere today and has been for more than 20 years!

This app is better than me

DMKyle1 on

I’m a very novice electronics diy’er. My profession is installing automatic industrial door and gate systems. I use this to design and test real life applications for custom control scenarios (current project is a custom controller for a secured parking lot for an app based short term car rental company to automatically close the door after a renter has finished renting the car and exiting the lot or they finished with their rental and returned the car and have safely exited the lot on foot). This app has helped me learn a lot about electronics and made me better at my career as well as saved me a lot of time by being able to design and debug and test my circuits so I can build them in real life. It has way more components and features than I know how to use fully and works very well for my needs. Highly recommended!

Limited functionality of the Arduino

DataLineMan.com on

coding the Arduino is very limited

Addition

darirthi on

Add standard 6 and 12 volt batteries in power supply (motorcycle and car)

iCircuit App

Rivendell Research on

This app is fantastic, but unfortunately falls short of what it could be, in my opinion. Many have requested, and continue to request, the inclusion of a vacuum tube module for this App. From my understanding, that request has been ongoing for the better part of almost a decade. Again, this is only one user’s opinion, but this will never be a well rounded App until at least this feature is included, and with the same professional approach applied to the existing App.

My Circuits

go2eddie on

I have no access to all my circuits uploaded to cloud????

Amazing resource for EE undergrad

TinhornNinja on

Absolutely fantastic resource for testing simple circuits. interface is a little jankey at times, and the power consumption is abysmal. But a very useful app for getting through my undergrad courses.

This is a really good app... take a little time to learn how to use it

SLIcore Jim on

I am not an electrician or electrical engineer (are they the same? 🤷🏼‍♂️). I picked this up cuz it says for beginners and hobbyists too. There is a learning curve but that’s more to get used to how the app was intended to be used. This company clearly puts A LOT of work into this app and they are clearly listening to the feedback they have been provided and it shows. There are a bunch of symbols to build your circuits. Yes, you probably will find some components have been left out, but from the sounds of things, people are getting by. Folks are building some crazy things out there! The interface is really intuitive so they aren’t lying to you when they say you’ll be working on it in minutes. I found that the spots where I was stuck just ended up turning into another learning experience. I would definitely suggest trying iCircuit out. There is a free version, so you can find out if you have the patience or time for it. Lastly: for anyone who really didn’t enjoy the app, temper your review a bit. If you really think they missed the mark with iCircuit, BUILD YOUR OWN APP! Show us how it should be done. Okay, rant over. Go iCircuit!

Waste of money

Kmaximoff on

Can’t even export circuit drawing pictures, for this quality this app should we free

Unreal - so we’ll done.

Jimmy278 on

Extremely interesting and fun to mess around with. It also opens up for learning a bit more on electrical. Very happy with this!
