Crumb Circuit Simulator
- Aspos 4y agoI bought the app, but using it on my 6.7" phone is not easy. I wish I could get the apk and run it on my PC instead. I could use some pre-built examples. Auto-save feature would also be great.
- LoveMortuus 4y agoHave you tried running an Android emulator on your PC and logging in with your Google account do that you don't have to buy it twice? While emulating Android is a bit heavy (at least on my machine) it is still quite usable!
- anthk 4y agoAndroid X86 can be run natively and it can be installed in the same ext4 partition as Linux by using another competely different directory.
- Tech2050 4y agoIt is possible to extract the apk using an app like myappsharer
- jaquilio 4y agoHow does this compare to ElectricVLab (https://www.electricVLab.com https://www.electricVLab.com) which is also 3D?
- Ancapistani 4y agoI can't believe I just bought a 3-day-old app for $8. Sigh. Looks great from the screenshots and forum posts, and I've been meaning to dive into component-level electronics for a while. I've tried to do so in the past and never seem to have the time and inclination while I'm near my workbench. Here's hoping this will let me learn enough to be able to "graduate" to the next level, and actually create some useful things at the bench instead of just trying to learn there.
- lonelygirl15a 4y agoImagine driving to a computer store in the late 70s or 80s, and buying a floppy disk in a stapled plastic sandwich baggie with some Xeroxed documentation stapled to it for $20. In 1980 dollars. I was pretty happy to buy this app this morning for $8 2022 dollars - the current price of an ice cream cone.
- Ancapistani 4y agoI got in on the tail end of that in the 90s. I vividly remember buying "old" computers at church bazaars and rummage sales, then begging my parents for money to buy dusty old games on 5.25" floppy at my local Radio Shack.
- Overtonwindow 4y agoI buy hard drives at thrift stores and run recovery on them for S&G’s. Amazing archeological finds….
- calvinmorrison 4y agoI was at the thrift store last night and found someones cache of complete old sim games for PC. Sim Coaster, Sim city, etc. all for $1.99. I realized - I don't have a CD drive anymore.
- UberFly 4y agoExternal USB ones work well enough in a pinch.
- Overtonwindow 4y agoOh! You mean Ham Radio Outlet ?! :-)
- certifiedloud 4y agoYou're paying way too much for ice cream. Who's your ice cream guy?
- awestroke 4y agoThis looks amazing! But I'd prefer this on my laptop rather than my phone. Semi-related, but what are some good books to learn circuit design and the electronic aspect of embedded in general?
- certifiedloud 4y agoThe Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill
- OkayPhysicist 4y agoThe only correct answer, really.
- ngvrnd 4y agoThe AOE lab book is also great if you like guided learning.
- bernardv 4y agoAlthough the AOB lab book, on its own, presumes you have the same kit used in the original course. If you’re a newbie, annoying/confusing.
- _benj 4y agoThis. You can feel the author’s excitement about teaching electronics and emphasis intuition over rigorous mathematics proofs. An example is that they talk about opamps as Lego blocks and how it can be configured to be an amp, a filter, a buffer, an inverter, an oscillator, a switch! Instead of teaching a bunch of theoretical knowledge, which is important for certain things, they get you thinking how to use analog electronics to do stuff!
- exDM69 4y agoThis book is available at archive.org https://archive.org/details/art-of-electronics-3e https://archive.org/details/art-of-electronics-3e The first four or five chapters are quite nice. Beyond that it's too advanced for me, but I mostly dabble in analog guitar and audio electronics.
- unoti 4y agoI wish I could tell what components this has, like does it have a 6502 or a 6809?
- unoti 4y agoThe answer: no. It has a small variety discrete 74-series components (NAND, NOR, inverters, flipflips decoders, multiplexers, etc), 555 timer, counters, a RAM and an EPROM, and little else. A great start, but not what I was hoping for. But maybe it will be some day?
- colejohnson66 4y agoThe development page shows what's included.[0] As far as logic chips go, it has a dozen or so of the most common 7400 series ICs (with more planned), the venerable 555, and a 2K*8 EEPROM (28C16). An HD44780-based LCD is in progress. [0]: https://www.crumbsim.com/development https://www.crumbsim.com/development
- eddyg 4y agoAnybody know how this compares to iCircuit 3D? https://praeclarum.org/2021/02/08/tech-of-icircuit3d.html https://praeclarum.org/2021/02/08/tech-of-icircuit3d.html
- pmayrgundter 4y agoIf you're into this but would like web-based multiplayer, check out a friend's project at flux.ai.
- amelius 4y agoDoes it allow you to blow up components? Or will it just keep simulating even if voltages, currents, or power go out of range?
- _benj 4y agoThis is pretty exciting! I really hope it can be part of some to help inspire more involvement , creativity and innovation on the hardware front! I’m a huge fan of hardware but it’s just seem not feasible professionally when software offers something like 3-5x compensation, cost of development/experimentation/training is practically negligible, and hardware seems like such a ivory tower… * sigh *
- nmkolatza 4y agoHow does this compares to some existing simulators like Everycircuit or Voltsim? Is this purely breadboard based as shown in preview? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fallenbug.circuitsimulator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fallenbug....
- tb0ne 4y agoI remember the guy behind VoltSim posting his project on reddit some months ago, claiming he wrote the circuit simulation under the hood from scratch by himself. When he was called out that all his components used the same values and variable names as falstad [1], implying he just ported falstad's circuit sim to android, he deleted his post. Looks like he still has his app on the app store and is still not honoring the open source license and not giving proper credit to falstad's circuit simulation. And now he even put many components behind paid "extension packs" and wants to make money from falstad's work. [1] https://github.com/sharpie7/circuitjs1 https://github.com/sharpie7/circuitjs1
- ur-whale 4y agoCant use on computer ... what's the point?
- nirav72 4y agoThe dev’a comment above indicated that they are working on a desktop version.
- cultofmetatron 4y agoI bought it. this is exactly the kind of thing I'm happy to support so that they can continue working on getting out a desktop version!
