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 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.

Great tool! The possibility to drag a group of selected itens and consolidating into a block would be a nice adition. Even though the bundles are not expensive, the free available resources are enough to do pretty much amything. Thanks for this gem!

Thank you 👍

This app has potential but it needs some work. It complains improperly about shorted capacitors (make a bridge rectifier, connect an LED, put one cap in parallel, it's fine.. put 2 in parallel, now there's a short? Nonsense, this setup is common), and the simulation time step you choose changes whether the circuit even works (certain values will blow LEDs). I do like the interface, but that doesn't matter much when the basic functionality of the app isn't right.

Hello Zak. Capacitor has no internal resistance (ideal math model) and in some cases you need add small resistance between source and capacitor. Best Regards PROTO Team
