Customer Reviews
Very Helpful
As a person with no real formal electrical training I find this app very helpful. It has saved me hours of reading on my own, and breaks the math formulas down so they are simple to understand. Info on downloading datasheets would be helpful as another reviewe mentioned. As with anything room for improvement, and with these guys, I'm sure there will be. Thanks Collin and LadyAda!
Worth Every Penny
Adafruit Industries has an excellent reputation in the electronics hobby industry.
Circuit Playground is an excellent reference for simplifying a number of common electrical calculations. It excels in ergonomic user interface. Circuit Playground is worth every penny. Thank you for adding to my hobby.
Too cool for words
But here they are. You can't do layout but an iPhone doesn't have half a gig. What it does do is make the thought process easier. On the road, too. I just wish there was more documentation on how to pull datasheets. But that's not a knock, just a wish list sort of thing. Can we do that, daughter of Babage ;-)
