Looks very nice, but on my old PC with my new 4k monitor it is unusable. It would be cool if it could render at half resolution (quarter the number of pixels) during animation and only when animation ends render one frame at full resolution.

#112what I really want is a circuit simulator that doesn't look like it was made in 02003 because it looks like it was made in 01963 the aesthetics and clarity of the schematics of a tektronix oscilloscope manual from 01963 plus the instant responsivity of the actual 01963 tektronix oscilloscope; but married with the flexibility, generality, reproducibility, and monte carlo capabilities you can get out of modern teraflop…
Still trying to solve that Y10K problem I see.
it's slow going, but fortunately we still have a significant amount of time left

#113The competition might look ancient, but IMO, a 2D interface would be much more productive and easier to work with. This site is completely unusable for me in Firefox (it does work in Edge though).
If you have ever used LTSpice you'd know, the "old" looking layout is not really a problem but the arcane way anything is done, different from every app I ever used.

#114Yes, it simulates blowing stuff up. Run this and wait: https://www.withdiode.com/projects/03af8e77-ff1b-4304-b1dd-d...

Why are all your year values starting with 0? They should be 1. This is the year 12022 FYI.

#117Schematics are for understanding what a circuit does. Breadboards are for prototyping small low-speed circuits. Veroboard is for prototyping larger medium-speed circuits. Gerbers & a PCB are for production and for prototyping large or high-speed circuits. If the tool could automatically make a 3D breadboard view from a schematic, it'd be pretty neat for beginners. If the tool warned you when the normal parasitic capa…
This is a tangent, but having worked with digital circuits for 40 years, the improvements in chips have made circuit construction -- even breadboarding -- vastly more forgiving than ever before. I've run 10 MHz clocks on breadboards and 100 MHz SPI bus on 2 layer boards that were not designed with extreme care. And, it's a fast precision ADC that's meeting its datasheet specs on that board. No doubt the parasitics an…
It also helps a lot when you get a well made breadboard from BusBoard [1] instead of the Aliexpress special.

one departure from arbitrary conventions is usually too much for the lumpencommentariat, frequently sending them into incomprehensible rages
with two, as per your suggestion, we might never see any followup comments that are actually about how to make a better circuit simulator
so far we're at zero for two

#119Just made me wish it wasn't chugging to render the 3D.

I believe another web-based tool which can do this already is https://www.flux.ai I've noodled around with it and I like it, but I actually find working with pencil, paper, and the actual components to be more efficient than panning and zooming around a 3d environment. It's not always an option so these simulators are very useful, but I've come to realize I'm far better off by planning not to use these tools, I guess…
flux founder here thanks for the plug! We are working on making our schematic editor so good...you'll never go back to paper :)
