About

Wonder Circuits

Read full description

Build a little computer, one working machine at a time. Wonder Circuits is a hands-on digital logic lab for iPhone and iPad: connect a switch to a lamp, make a clock pulse, add binary numbers, then explore a visible 4-bit computer. 71 guided experiments across 13 chapters turn Boolean gates, timing, carry, memory and control into machines you can build and run. Connect parts, change an input and see what happens. Review what you learned in the concept handbook. The complete Invent Lab is free: build your own logic machines, adjust parts, save reusable modules and share offline blueprints. The first 12 campaign machines are also free. One optional purchase unlocks the remaining 59 machines and all future core content. No subscription or consumables; campaign levels still progress in order. Works offline. No accounts, ads or tracking. This is a digital-signal learning sandbox, not an analog electronics simulator: it does not model voltage or current.

About

Digital Simulator bitGateLab

Read full description

bitGateLab Digital is a digital electronics lab on your PC, phone or tablet: design a circuit with logic gates, watch it run live, get its truth table and Karnaugh map, check the timing diagram and build it on a 3D breadboard with step-by-step wiring. Everything works offline, with no account. DESIGN AND SIMULATE β€’ AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR and buffer gates; inputs, switches, push buttons, DIP banks, LEDs, LED strips and bar graphs, 7- and 16-segment displays, buzzer. β€’ Sequential logic: D, T, JK and SR flip-flops, clock, crystal, counters, 555 timer, word generator, serial monitor. β€’ Components: multiplexers, buses, ROM and RAM, H-bridge, motor, optocoupler, registers. β€’ Group any part of the circuit into a reusable block with its own pins. β€’ Undo and redo, copy and paste, named and colored wires, grid and automatic fit. TRUTH TABLE AND KARNAUGH β€’ Type a boolean equation or fill in the truth table and turn it into a circuit with one tap. β€’ Karnaugh maps from 2 to 8 variables, with groupings, canonical form, minterms or maxterms. β€’ Step-by-step simplification naming each law applied, NAND form and Verilog export. β€’ From the circuit back to the truth table or the Karnaugh map. TIMING DIAGRAM β€’ Every input combination as a binary counter, with the hex value of each cycle. β€’ A and B probes to measure intervals, X and Z levels, slopes and propagation delay per logic family (TTL, CMOS...). β€’ Export to PDF. 3D BREADBOARD β€’ Your circuit becomes a real build on its own: 74-series chips, resistors, LEDs, switches and wires on one or more breadboards. β€’ Step-by-step guide hole by hole (for example 44i β†’ 12i), bill of materials and net list. β€’ Move chips, LEDs and switches where you like, recolor wires, isolate a net or a single wire, undo and redo. β€’ Labels on every input and LED, free rotation, zoom and image capture. MICROCONTROLLERS AND PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC β€’ MCU51 (8051-compatible) and MCU14 (14-bit): program in C or assembly, assemble and single-step with registers, ports, timers, interrupts and UART. β€’ 16V8, 20V8 and 22V10 PLDs: equations, fuse map and JEDEC file. β€’ Ready-made examples: counters, blinkers, traffic lights, serial communication and more. SHARE AND SAVE β€’ Save your circuits with version history; share them as a file, a link or a QR code. β€’ Export images as SVG, PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF, and code as Verilog. β€’ Number systems calculator, two's complement and binary operations with flags. FOR LEARNING AND TEACHING β€’ Reference of boolean algebra laws and theorems. β€’ State table and state diagram of your sequential circuits. β€’ Large-button interface, comfortable on PCs, phones and tablets; light and dark themes. β€’ 16 languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), French, German, Italian, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi. PRIVACY No account, no cloud and no ads: your circuits are stored only on your device. Something not working? Settings β†’ Report a problem sends your message with the app version, device model and a technical log, with no personal data.
