iCircuit 1.4's New Features

iCircuit 1.4 was released and has some powerful new features.

• Dependent Sources let you specify mathematical expressions for voltage and current sources. These expressions can reference other elements allowing you to solve some of those annying homework problems and simulate complex models.
• Subcircuits allow you to modularize your designs and create custom elements. (Combined with the dependent sources, this is a very powerful new feature.)
• Custom Scope Tracks allow you to perform and plot math on different signals in the circuit.
• Scope Triggers make it easier to analyze high-frequncy or frequency-varying signals.

I am very excited for these new features as they greatly extend the power of this app. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Oklahoma Robotics is using iCircuit

Oklamhoma Robotics, a freelance electronics engineering firm, is using iCircuit in their initial prototype designs. While iCircuit is focused on students and hobbyists, it's quite gratifying to see it used by engineering teams!

New Dependent Sources

Dependent sources are coming to iCircuit. They don't really exist of course, but their pervassiveness in textbooks has made it difficult to use iCircuit when in early college courses. No longer! You will now be able to use iCircuit's engine to help you through this pesky homework problems.

For instance, here's Problem 13 from Chapter 2 of Engineering Circuit Analysis.

Updated the User Manual

After far too long, the User Manual has finally been updated! I hope you will all give it a little purusal.
