Ohmira vs Perfboard Lab

Ohmira turns electronics into something you can see. Place real components on a grid, wire them together, press Run, and watch voltage colour the wires while moving dots show you where the current goes. No account. No ads. Nothing to sign up for. BUILD IT Drag a part onto the grid and drag between terminals to wire it. Parts snap to the grid, wires route themselves around what is in the way, and every action can be undone. Tidy a messy circuit with one tap and it redraws itself as a schematic: the source standing up on the left, the ground at the bottom. OBSERVE IT Run the circuit and it stays live. Wires take the colour of their voltage, from grey at 0 V to indigo at the supply. Dots travel along them at the speed of the current. Tap any part to read its voltage, its current and its power, or pin the readings to the canvas and watch them change as you edit. LEARN IT Thirty exercises, in three tiers, from Ohm's law to a regulated power supply. Each one gives you a brief and then checks the circuit you actually built, not a multiple-choice question about it. When it fails, it tells you why in words about your circuit: a part missing, a value wrong, a node left unwired, a reading that came out too low. WHAT IS IN THE BOX • 43 components: sources, batteries, resistors, capacitors, inductors, potentiometers, diodes, LEDs, Zeners, transistors, MOSFETs, an op-amp, bridge rectifiers, regulators, a transformer, relays, lamps, motors, buzzers, thermistors, photoresistors, and probes • DC analysis and a transient simulation that draws real waveforms • A single-channel oscilloscope with a 1-2-5 timebase, mean and peak-to-peak • Ten starter circuits, from a single loop to a MOSFET stage • Annotated zones for labelling parts of a circuit • Import and export as a file, and private iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A workspace on iPad with floating panels, an Apple Pencil and a pointer welcome, keyboard shortcuts, and a canvas-first layout on iPhone. Full VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast, and colour-blind indicators. Colour is never the only thing that carries meaning. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your circuits live on your device. iCloud sync, if you want it, uses your own private database, never an account of ours and never a shared server. Ohmira collects no data, contains no analytics, and tracks nothing. There is no backend to leak. FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT Ohmira is free, with no time limit and no cap on how many circuits you keep. The free app includes the whole editor, fifteen fundamental parts, the full DC simulation, iCloud sync, import and export, the first ten exercises, and six starter circuits. Ohmira Complete is one purchase, with no subscription and shared with your family. It adds the other 28 components, the remaining 20 exercises, and the oscilloscope. Ohmira is a teaching simulator, not a SPICE replacement: it is built to make circuits understandable, not to certify a design for manufacture.

Understand electronics by trying it out: Perfboard Lab turns your iPhone, iPad or Mac into an electronics lab. Build a circuit and switch on the power. Right away you see what happens: LEDs light up, buzzers beep, motors turn and hum. And if your maths was off: it smokes, it sparks and the part burns out – without any real damage. SEE WHAT HAPPENS, INSTANTLY • Every change is computed instantly with real physics • Overloaded parts smoke in four levels until they burn out • The analysis explains in plain words what is wrong: an LED the wrong way round, a missing series resistor, a short circuit, an open circuit MEASURE LIKE IN A REAL LAB • Multimeter: voltage, current and power at every part • Oscilloscope: voltage and current over time OVER 20 REAL PARTS • DC voltage source, AC voltage source, current source, solar module and breadboard power supply • Resistors, potentiometers, ceramic and electrolytic capacitors, inductors, switches • Diodes and Zener diodes, NPN and PNP transistors, N- and P-channel MOSFETs, relays, op-amps, voltage regulators and Timer NE555 • LEDs in six colours, an incandescent lamp, a buzzer with a real tone and a motor whose hum matches its turning • Sensors: photoresistor, NTC and PTC, with the brightness taken from the camera if you like JUST LIKE ON THE WORKBENCH • Draw wires with the pen – straight wires with bends and branches • Perfboard, with Perfboard Lab Pro also stripboard with cuttable strips and breadboard as used with Arduino • Copy parts with all their values; text labels annotate your circuit • Real 2.54 mm grid: what fits in the app fits on the real board • Bill of materials with every part and the length of hookup wire • With Perfboard Lab Pro you see your circuit in the 3D view: real parts on the board that you turn, tilt and measure PERFECT FOR SCHOOL AND CLASS • A guided tutorial starts with an LED that burns out and shows you how to find the right series resistor • A free task at your level every day: build, complete, adjust or rescue, with a time limit without Perfboard Lab Pro • AI-assisted tasks that suit your level and explanations step by step on the board (Perfboard Lab Pro) • Lots of ready-made examples: from an LED with a series resistor to logic circuits, transistors and op-amps • The formula collection calculates with the measured values of your parts and shows where each number comes from • Teachers pass their default settings on to the whole class as a file FOR EVERYONE • In many languages and usable with VoiceOver, Voice Control and Apple Pencil • No ads, no tracking FREE The perfboard with almost all parts and their examples, the daily task, text labels, the instruments and the simulation are free. A circuit can have up to 7 parts. PERFBOARD LAB PRO With “Perfboard Lab Pro” you save as many circuits as you like and keep working on iPhone, iPad and Mac. You export them as PDF with a bill of materials and share them with others. Plus circuits with more than 7 parts, op-amp, voltage regulator, Timer NE555, motor, Zener diode, current source, solar module and the sensors with their examples, the stripboard and the breadboard with their examples, AI-assisted tasks and explanations, and the 3D view. • Perfboard Lab Pro is available as a subscription (yearly, monthly, weekly). The App Store shows the prices before you buy. • A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. You can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings under “Subscriptions”. • Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Privacy policy: https://pascalschroeer.github.io/PerfboardLab_PrivacyPolicy/ Legal notice: https://pascalschroeer.github.io/PerfboardLab_PrivacyPolicy/#legal-notice
