About this app

Are you looking for tools like Multisim, SPICE, LTspice, Proteus, Altium or PhET simulations? That's great! PROTO is an real time electronic circuit simulator which means you are able to setup a circuit with various components and simulate behaviour of the electronic circuit ⚡
During simulation you can check voltages, currents and many other variables. Check signals on multichannel oscilioscope and tune your circuit in real time! Our app can greatly help with your Raspberry Pi, Arduino or ESP32 project. You can also use PROTO as logic circuit simulator and perform digital electronic analysis!

ℹ️ You can report an issue or make component request at Github

The simulation is awesome and works really well, making your own ICs would be a good addition as I find myself using loads of space to build circuits when custom ICs would be much quicker and tidier (e.g. arithmetic, or modelling real ICs for their intended use in circuits). Also points which are connected but not with wires (for tidier circuits) like a label in more advanced circuit tools. And the ability to select and move (not just delete) multiple components.

Hi William, thank you for feedback. We will add custom ICs in future. As first iteration we will add possibility to import existing circuit in new simulation. Best Regards PROTO Team

Works amazingly well for its size and great for sketching out simple ideas on the move. What would make it much better are some tutorials or even a user guide. It's like playing a game trying to explore the options and figure out how to do things. I realise it's a rapid work in progress but a wiki would make it far more useable. Secondly and probably just as important is a way to save circuits or sync to the cloud. Saving jpgs doesn't really cut it if you break your device and lose everything.

The program is ok, I suppose. However it's extremely buggy. Tons of times I've had the program straight up not calculate sources if there's more than 2 of them. Not to mention, variating sources (such as the solar cell) work in very odd ways. If you want to try using transistors, good luck. Every time I use them it shows that there's millions of billions of giga amps traveling through them. Overall, buggy program.
