With Electronic Toolbox 2, a fully modernized new edition arrives: familiar in structure, up to date technologically, and consistently evolved. # The best and most complete electronics app—now for iPhone, iPad & Mac Over 70 tools, tables, and references—from “A” like ASCII table to “Z” like Zener diode calculation: Everything you need in the lab, workshop, or lecture hall, in one place. • Universal app: One purchase—three platforms (iPhone, iPad, Mac) • iCloud sync: All settings and favorites automatically on all devices • Multi‑window support: Use multiple tools in parallel—ideal for comparisons • PDF export: Save, document, or share results • Pinned tools: Keep important tools always at hand • Interactive tools: New visualizations, e.g., in the Battery Charge tool • Modern UI with Dark Mode: Redesigned, clearly structured, and easy to read # Proven foundation, familiar workflow Electronic Toolbox 2 stays true to its heritage—all known tools are included and have been carefully revised. From calculators to reference data: nothing is missing, much is better. Examples: • Resistor color code and coil calculator • NE555 and heatsink calculation • Conversion and unit tools (HEX, AWG, frequency, and more) • Parametric component search with datasheets • Tables for batteries, drill sizes, IC pinouts, packages, and more • References for boards like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, BeagleBone, Nano Pi … • Global search across all tools • Fully usable offline • No ads, no in‑app purchases # Continuously improved—since 2009 Electronic Toolbox has been maintained and improved with passion for over a decade. With version 2, we carry this legacy forward—on a new technical foundation for the years ahead. Feedback from the community remains central: every suggestion helps make the toolbox even better. # Gentle transition The original Electronic‑Toolbox Pro remains fully usable—existing workflows are not interrupted. Existing customers can switch to the new version via a discounted bundle. Features like the Circuit Editor or Projects will initially remain exclusive to Electronic‑Toolbox Pro and are not yet included in this new edition. # From the developer Jan Roskosch built Electronic Toolbox 2 together with his father Marcus Roskosch, the developer of the original app. A modern realization of a classic—with the same passion for electronics, precision, and quality. # At a glance • Completely new, modern interface • All known tools from the original app included • Universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac • iCloud synchronization • PDF export & multi‑window support • Fully usable offline • No ads, no in‑app purchases ----- Electronic Toolbox 2—the future of the electronic toolbox.
