Fix the switches
With the scope running, tapping a switch to change it's state causes the switch parameters to be displayed on the scope. This should not happen.
Also: add a time-dependent switch

Op-amp with rails that can be wired
The current op-amp forces you to specify the rails as parameters

RMS Readings
I would like to see an option in settings that makes the displays over wires show RMS readings instead of true readings. When you are building an AC circuit at 120vRMS and 60Hz, the readings are essentially useless unless you are using the meter. Even if you have the frequency low enough to be able to read the numbers, you still can't tell what the effective voltage is.

Add a blank component that you can modify yourself
Adding a blank component to every category would be nice where we can insert our values as opposed to waiting for an update. All components run on equations that determine the type of component it is. Adding a blank one would be easy to add the values we need as they become more available.

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)

add specific components.
The components are too generic. For instance, different op-amps, micro controllers, etc...

Signal when too much power is used
All of the components will accept an infinite range of voltage and current. The app should watch for extreme values and display those problems.

Potentiometer upgrades
instead of a menu item, it would be lovely if you could click and drag the value of a potentiometer. Then the actual value of the pot would be displayed in the menu.
linking two pots together... so when one moves the other adjusts.

Since you added the CT Xfr, why not also add the negative Voltage regulators like the 79** range for example?
I know there are ways to work around the fact that they are not there, but with the new changes and a spot available with code already written. (in reverse) Should be a handy add on for hopefully cheap, quick and little if any strain on your time and recources required from you Frank.
15 votesThey’re at the top of the list! I just needed to get the iOS update out to stabilize the code base. Hopefully in the next update!

I think that rotary switches and possibly an LM317T
Adding rotary switches would be cool as well as LM317T and maybe multiple 7segment display say 5stringed together with a built in decoder and the 4digital inputs for the 7seg driver
9 votesRotary switches have not begun, but the app should contain an LM317 as of version 1.10.

If you push R for resistor... pushing R a second time would rotate the resistor
Shortcut keys are helpful, but rotating components in a PITA
Pushing the shortcut key a second time could rotate it

Using LM78xx input current must be equal to output current
When using voltage regulators LM78xx (great idea), I observe than intput current is set to cero, while output current works according output circuit.
Could be possible set input current equal to output current? This is a good aproximation (input might be output current plus a inner consumption).8 votes -
Set Vbe on BJTs
We need more control over the transistor's parameters.

Overload and Overcurrent devices
Maybe add some overcurrent and overload devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, GFCIs, AFCIs, and surge arrestors. Safety is always important!

Schematic layout
This might involve a total redesign of the app, but I think it would be really useful to have a feature that allows you to build a circuit as a schematic diagram like this: http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/images/simpledryer.jpg
Or as a wiring diagram as it is now. Schematic diagrams make it a lot easier to trace the order of operations in the circuit.8 votes -
Allow specifying which side of the sub-circuit a port is on
It would be extremely convenient if ports had an option of specifying which side of the box the wire is on (ie to separate inputs from outputs). For example, I am making a 3-bit counter with two inputs and three outputs. However, because iCircuit tries to balance the sides, it puts both inputs and one of the outputs on the left side and two of the outputs on the right side. This is extremely frustrating. If possible, I'd like to even be able to put ports on the top/bottom of the sub-circuit box.
