iCircuit vs Sketch Simply

iCircuit is the premier iPhone and iPad app for designing, simulating, and learning analog and digital electronics. Its advanced simulation engine provides real-time, always-on analysis so your circuits stay powered and live, just like working with real components. Use it like a CAD tool: add components, wire them up, and set their properties. But iCircuit is unlike typical CAD apps because it is always simulating. You do not stop to take a measurement or spend time configuring reports. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on. Build circuits with over 300 components, from simple resistors and LEDs to programmable Arduinos (Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP8266, ESP32), Raspberry Pi Pico boards running real MicroPython and CircuitPython, PIC microcontrollers, and 60 4000/7400-series digital ICs (more available with Pro). Connect elements, adjust values, and instantly see the results. BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT • Multimeter: Probe any point to read voltage, current, and power • Oscilloscope: Track multiple signals with touch-controlled time scale, stacked/unstacked views, FFT analysis, and Bode plots • Gauges: Visualize voltages, currents, and frequencies directly in your circuit • Signal generators and configurable sources EXTENSIVE COMPONENT LIBRARY • Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2 running genuine MicroPython and CircuitPython firmware • Programmable Arduinos (Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP8266, ESP32) • Programmable PIC microcontrollers (assembly and HEX files, more available with Pro) • Power: Voltage regulators (78xx, LM317), sources, dependent sources, power jacks, and simulated antennas • Analog: Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, thermistors, triodes, and tetrodes • Digital: Logic gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR), JK and D flip-flops, and 60 4000/7400-series ICs (180+ available with Pro) • ADCs and DACs • Sensors and displays: LEDs, 7-segment, NeoPixels, matrix displays, thermistors • Electromechanical: Motors, servos, SPST/SPDT and DPST/DPDT switches, push buttons, relays, and speakers SPICE, VERILOG, AND VHDL Import vendor SPICE models and subcircuits and use them as components. Write Verilog or VHDL in the HDL element and wire it to the rest of your circuit. CREATE CUSTOM ELEMENTS Build sub-circuits and custom elements to componentize your designs and create reusable modules. Share your custom elements with others via the iCircuit Gallery. AUDIO SIMULATION Hear your circuits. Speakers, buzzers, and microphones produce real audio output. Perfect for students learning electronics, hobbyists prototyping projects, and engineers validating designs, all without burning out a single component. ABOUT ICIRCUIT PRO (OPTIONAL) iCircuit is a complete app with a one-time purchase. iCircuit Pro is optional and adds extra components (including more PICs and a larger 4000/7400 IC library) and helps fund ongoing development. Pro is not required for core simulation or everyday circuit design. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Use SkBk for brainstorming, rough design sketches and making a record of your ideas. Indicate if you're using an Apple Pencil in order to avoid inadvertent hand, wrist, knuckle and finger touch drawings. With an iCloud account, your sketches and archives will be backed up automatically. You'll never lose your sketches. Archived books can be shared to other PDF reading apps. What's more, with an iCloud enabled account, your sketches and archives will be synchronized across all your iCloud enabled devices. Use Air Play on your iPad or iPhone to an Apple TV and use it as a white board for collaboration. Then share the images or pages with the collaborators and others. Features: Draw on a single page in portrait, or on two pages at once in landscape orientation. Undo prior strokes. Defaults automatically to use iCloud to back up and synchronize your sketch book across devices. This preference can be turned off in the Settings app. Indicate the use of the Apple Pencil for improved drawing, eliminating unintended strokes between hand touches and the Apple Pencil touches. Share your drawings as images, your pages¹ with other SkBk users, and your archives¹ with other people or PDF capable apps. Draw in color¹. Menu of options: - Share an image. - Share a page. - Enable Undo. - Draw in color.¹ - Archive a book of sketches as a PDF document. Books can have up to 122 pages. - View and manage book archives. Books can be individually shared¹ and removed from the archives. Footnotes: 1) Selecting color drawing requires a one time in app purchase.
