Circuit4 A circuit analysis application designed to solve electrical circuits has been released at http://www.noatechnologies.com.It is available for the TI89, TI92+, and Voyage200.
It is a Flash application written in C language.Because of this it takes full advantage of all the calculator's functionality.Also, because it is written in C language, it is many times faster than a TI-Basic program.
Circuit4 is able to solve for the thevenin/norton equivalence of a circuit, input resistance, node voltages in t, s, or i*w domain. It can also solve for the node equations of a circuit and the phasor voltages. It also has an oscilloscope to help you analyze the waveforms of a circuit. With the oscilloscope you can do things like compare the input and output waveforms.
It is designed specially for students taking a circuits I or II college course but it is so easy to use that anybody interested in electrical circuits can use it.To learn more about Circuit4 just go to http://www.noatechnologies.com

btw, should we really allow advertising on the boards? |

Well, there are already many good circuit analysis applications for computers. For example, Electronics Workbench, and PSpice. These applications are used by engineering students and professionals alike.
The advantage of an application like this in your calculator means that you can take it with you anywhere, and, sometimes it is easier to use then the proffesional ones.
Also, the fact that you can get answers in symbolic form, PSpice nor Electronics Workbench can do this, is a big plus. |

If I were you I'd make a demo, or at least a tralier, that would help. Also, you might want to try lowering the price?
30 bucks is a fine. It's average. People will buy it for 30 bucks.

>>I know it took you a long time to make
You are right. Mostly because of quality control. But it is not yet complete. Several versions with far more powerful features are planned for next year.

Total Posts: 739 | Why a tralier? Well, I'm not going to pay 50 dollars unless i really know this prgm is worth every penny. I know 50 is alot, so thats why. I also don't know if this should considered a calcgame. :) |

Total Posts: 2486 | This seems like a very useful program for engineering students, but as some folks mentioned above, a demo is highly needed especially with its price tag. It could be very well worth all the money, but how would people tell w/t purchasing it? Maybe a more affordable price will do. This is btw the most expensive app I've seen so far in the calc world...Other commercial apps I've seen all had demos, so I think you should condier releasing a demo for your app. A good demo might have all functionality but with a certain limit for the number of devices one can have on their circuit board or something of that sort.
