Can't wait to buy the original iCircuit, just need it to support vacuum tubes... Any plans to do that or are you really focusing on the Arduino/digital hobby?

This might have use for layout prototyping, thinking about it. But until it has tubes I don't need it.
Nice work - really does look good.
- praeclarum 6y agoI owe the iCircuit community vacuum tubes. I've been promising them for some 10 years now. My hesitance has mostly been my inability to verify the simulations. I prefer to have physical elements available so I can double-check the app. But I think I will have to resign myself to verifying against SPICE or something.
- scrumper 6y agoGlad to be part of that annoying sense of guilt at the back of your mind :) For me it's less about modeling the tube and more about checking the rest of the circuit around the tube if that makes sense. Does the tone control do what I want, and so on. Personally I'm looking to verify relatively simple parameters of a tube in a circuit: gain, whether it's operating in the linear region given a particular bias, that sort of thing. If the model was simply a representation of the tube's characteristic curves that'd be good enough for my purposes. So being SPICE-like would work ok. After all that's what I'm doing now!
