Some people learn electronics from textbooks. Others learn by building, breaking, fixing, and trying again. If you belong to the second group, PROTO might be the circuit simulator you’ve been looking for. This powerful real-time electronic circuit simulator brings the hands-on experience of wiring components, testing ideas, and visualizing results directly to your phone without burning a resistor or wasting parts.
Below are six key reasons PROTO stands out among circuit simulation tools – and why it deserves a spot on your device.
Real-Time Circuit Simulation — See Results Instantly
PROTO lets you build circuits with a wide selection of components and observe their behavior in real-time. Adjust values, change connections, and instantly see the impact on voltage, current, and signals. No rendering delays – just instant feedback.
This feature makes PROTO especially useful for students, hobbyists, and makers working with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other electronics platforms.
Visual Animations That Bring Circuits to Life
Instead of trying to imagine what’s happening inside your circuit, PROTO shows you.
Animated voltage and current flows help you clearly understand how energy is moving across wires and components. Whether you are debugging or learning theory, this visual layer simplifies complex concepts, making electronics less intimidating and more intuitive.
Built-In Oscilloscope & Test Tools
PROTO includes a multi-channel oscilloscope, voltmeters, ammeters, and probes – just like a real electronics lab.
You can:
- Monitor signal waveforms
- Track changes over time
- Compare channels
- Identify noise or instability
This turns every project into a hands-on learning experience — without needing expensive hardware.
Massive Component Library for Analog & Digital Circuits
From simple LED circuits to more advanced digital logic, PROTO offers an impressive component collection:
- Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers
- Diodes (including Zener, Schottky, LED)
- MOSFETs, BJTs, relays, switches
- 555 timers, op-amps, voltage regulators
- Logic gates, counters, flip-flops
- ADC / DAC modules, sensors, batteries, motors, and more
You can even explore TTL and CMOS IC packages, or simulate logic circuits alongside analog components – perfect for experimenting, prototyping, or learning electronics fundamentals.
Simple Controls, Shareable Projects, and Export Options
PROTO keeps the workflow smooth and practical:
- A single play/pause button controls simulations
- Circuits can be duplicated, saved, and shared
- Export to PNG, JPG, or PDF for reports or presentations
- Themes like Dark, Ocean, Solar help personalize your workspace
If you’re studying, teaching, or collaborating, being able to export and share designs makes PROTO incredibly convenient.
Learn Faster With Examples, Tutorials, and Future-Ready Features
PROTO isn’t just a tool – it is also a learning companion.
Inside the app, you’ll find ready-made examples and helpful tutorials that guide you step by step. The platform continues to evolve, with planned support for more components and Arduino-related features — meaning your projects can grow along with your skills.
Whether you’re a beginner exploring electronics for the first time or a maker refining ideas before building them in real life, PROTO makes learning faster, safer, and more fun.
Why PROTO Is Worth Trying
PROTO doesn’t try to replace real electronics. Instead, it gives you a smarter way to experiment before you plug anything into a breadboard. You get:
- Real-time simulation
- Visual explanations
- A deep component library
- Professional-level tools in your pocket
If you enjoy building circuits, teaching electronics, prototyping ideas, or simply exploring how things work, PROTO is absolutely worth downloading and trying for yourself.
Start experimenting and let your next circuit idea come to life.
