iCircuit vs SIMO

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/

~~~~~~~~~ Check out our FREE app Console, which is powered by SIMO's MATLAB interpreter. If you find Console useful, SIMO is definitely suitable for you. ~~~~~~~~~ SIMO is a feature-rich development environment for MATLAB. We have developed a version of MATLAB interpreter that works for commonly used language syntax and functions for beginners. [+] Who will find SIMO useful? - Students learning the basics of MATLAB. - Course instructors of fundamental MATLAB courses. - Individuals whose works do not depend on specialised toolboxes and advanced language syntax. [+] What is SIMO? - It is an integrated environment for running MATLAB. - It allows you to create, edit, and run MATLAB code on iOS devices. - Unlike other apps that compute on the cloud, it performs computation entirely locally on device. No internet connection is needed. You don't miss a single app feature even if you are offline. [+] What SIMO cannot do? - It does not completely replace MATLAB, as it has only a subset of built-in functions of MATLAB. - It does not support advanced features such as Simulink or creating user-interface. [+] One app, all platforms - You will be amazed at how much work you can do on a phone. The app is designed to let you work effectively on smaller screens. - The iPad app features a split-screen layout. You can enjoy a full-screen workspace, or work on two views simultaneously. - The iPad app runs on Macs with Apple silicon as well. Buy one app and it works on all of the platforms. [+] MATLAB interpreter - The interpreter works for language syntax that is essential to survive a MATLAB course. It provides the most commonly used built-in functions for learners. - The interpreter computes on your device locally. You will not miss a single app feature even if you go completely offline. - SIMO comes with a full set of documentation and user guides. It is offline accessible and full-text searchable. [+] Visualization tool - Plots are rendered in real-time using your device's computing power. Operations such as updating line attributes, pan and zoom are fast and responsive. - Stunning 3D plots are rendered by the device's GPU in real-time. Pan, zoom or rotate with multi-touch gestures, trackpad or keyboard shortcuts. - Plot attributes are editable through the built-in user-interface. You can improvise with different styles without entering a single line of code. [+] Command console - You can run one or many lines of code from the command console. It supports line numbering, auto-intent and syntax highlighting. - Search over thousand lines of output data instantly. You'll never get overwhelmed by the sea of numbers. - Output data are formatted automatically to fit the screen size or app window. Data are always neatly presented however you resize the app. [+] File manager - Files can be synced across all of your iCloud Drive enabled devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). Or, you can store them locally on device. - Tons of files buried in tons of folders? No worries. The search feature will help you find an item instantly. - It has features you expect from a useful file manager. Add, copy, delete, duplicate, move, rename, sort and more. [+] Script editor - It has features you expect from a useful script editor. Syntax highlight, auto-indent, line numbers and more. - Search for a word in a script. Replace occurrences with another word. - Recent items are accessible from your finger tip. It is a useful feature for navigating through frequently accessed files.
