save background color
Save selected background color with file.
Or create general preference for background & dot colorIt's very hard to see yellow dots on a white background.

SPI and I2C controllers
A lot of devices and especially arduino are connecting through SPI. SPI and I2C displays can be very helpfull

Add more 74 series ICs
I would love to see more 74xx series ICs in iCurcuit. Maybe you could add all of the main ones (quite a few, maybe half, are there already), which could be super easy because of readily available datasheets online. I think this would be the perfect platform to simulate my breadboard designs with!

Please implement vacuum tubes
Great tool! When are common tubes going to be implemented? Can't wait!

Audio tubes!!! Please!!!
I just wanted to say, this is a fantastic app. I've designed the PSU and switching circuitry for a guitar amp that I'm currently building, and so far, iCircuit has been absolutely spot on when it comes to the scope voltage and current readings. I was a little sceptical to begin with, but it's all knitting together quite well.
But the one thing that I'm missing that'd make it perfect for what I want is a collection of audio tubes. Not all of them, obviously, because there are way too many variants, but would it be too much to ask…

include Vacuum Tube Devices, Diode, Triode, Tetrode and Pentode.
for designing, building and Hi-Fi vacuum tube amplifiers it would be really practical to have vacuum tube Diodes, Triodes, Tetrodes and Pentodes in the components set, plus provide the ability to edit existing models like transformers and add them into the component set.

We are currently working to include more elements, and include some options to let you to create your own components

Please integrate vacuum tubes!!
I would love to see vacuum tubes integrated into this app. I build electric guitar amplifiers and if a guitar amp is of any quality then it has tubes in it. This would be a great tool for me when I am protoyping a new amp design. However I can't use it because it doesn't have tubes incorporated into it, Which are essential. Main tubes that are used are 6V6, 6L6, EL84 EL34, 12Ax7, 12AT7, 6550, ECC83, 5881, KT66, 5Y3

Provide latching relay
I have a circuit that uses a latching relay with a Reset coil but no way to represent that in iCircuit. I've tried using a second Relay to represent the action, but it's messy and doesn't fully represent the logic. I have searched the web and nobody's circuit design software addresses this. Maybe I'm just an outlier? Is there another way to do this with your software?
17 votesNice idea. Doesn’t look too hard to fit in.

Add 12AX7, 12AT7, EL84, 6V6, 6L6, EL34 vacuum tubes
As a guitar amp designer, I bought this app as a way to prototype circuits without having to used an over-complicated program like Eagle. The common vacuum tube types (for starters) are 12AX7, 12AT7, EL84, 6V6, 6L6, and EL34. Unfortunately I don't see any options for even a generic tube which you could input operational values. If that is too complex of an undertaking, maybe just explicitly define the above tubes, after all, they are the most common tubes being used in amp design (and has been for decades). Hoping you can implement this!

What is a detached relay circuit? Do you just mean you want 0 leakage current?

Improve touch interface
-wire auto route. When moving/adding a wire don't want everything to become scrambled.
-wire mode: zoom and scroll with 2 fingers in wire mode
-normal mode: instead of one or two finger scroll make it only two finger zoom and scroll. Make it so when you put two fingers on the screen to scroll it doesn't move any other components around accidentally. looks like its "planned" already
-change one finger scroll in normal to making a select box for deleting multiple things at once
-attach the meter and scope to a fixed given component so that for example, you can…15 votesI will be toiling with the touch interface for the rest of my life. In fact you have described here a way iCircuit used to operate. Wire auto-routing simply needs to be improved.

Please please please - vacuum tubes!!,,,
Come on, it's one of the most fun thing you can do with a circuit!
15 votesOne of the most fun things? I was a practicing engineer for 5 years with a Masters in EE and I’ve never used tubes. That said, everyone wants them so I will re-double my efforts. :-)

Add non-realtime audio buffering
Currently the speaker output rarely works live due to lack of processor power. Maybe the audio could be buffered into memory or streamed into a wav/aiff/mp3 file or better yet, into audio clipboard (the free AudioCopy SDK by Retronyms has been a de-facto standard for years, but maybe regular iOS clipboard would suffice too)

More controls on sub-circuits
We already can create sub-circuit but it seems we cannot make sub-circuits using other sub-circuits. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature not yet implemented.
I tried to implement a logical 'full-adder' with an intermediate 'half-adder' as presented in the 'Code' book. I manage to create an 'half-adder' but the 'full-adder' doesn't wok with the sub-circuits 'half-adder'.It will be very useful to add those sub-circuits in a library for future use. Currently iCircuit is very buggy when loading higher level circuit it fails at loading lower level ones. I also don't know where iCircuit is…

Maybe option to choose op-amp type ?
I'm not sure about this one and I may be running into the limits of the program. I tried making a triangle-square wave generator using 3 op-amps - op1 is integrator with 100nf feedback, op2 is comparator with positive feedback (a voltage divider or a pot), and op3 is an inverter with output back to the input of op1. All resistors are 10kohm. 15V is assumed for all op-amps. I should be getting a triangle at op1 out and square wave at the other two. I'm not seeing this at all on the scope. Maybe the op-amp is 'too perfect'…
