Abstract:
Most modern circuit design applications use a drag-and-drop approach to circuit creation. This can be both slow and unintuitive. This paper presents Voltique Designer, an Android-based circuit creation tool. The app seeks to combine the benefit of electronic circuit creation with the ease of hand drawing. Using RATA.SSR, Voltique Designer can recognize hand-drawn circuit components. The app analyses the circuit on the fly with a localized version of NGSPICE. User testing shows that Voltique Designer is quick to learn and easy to use compared to existing applications. An electronic logbook app called Montique is developed in conjunction with Voltique Designer.
