CircuitMuse v1.0.2

CircuitMuse v1.0.2 — Premium Features and Multi-Board Improvements

AI-powered circuit simulator and embedded board emulator for desktop. Design circuits, write Arduino code, and run real emulations — all in one app.

What's Inside

• Premium Features are now Open-Source & Free:

  • microSD File Upload: Write files directly to emulated microSD cards with a fully integrated FAT filesystem manager.
  • STM32 and QEMU Raspberry Pi Emulation: Support for STM32 Blue Pill/Nucleo, and Raspberry Pi 3B/4B/5 board families.
  • Export Schematic Images & BOM: Export clean, precise schematic layout PNGs and CSV Bill of Materials for your designs.

• Massive Performance & Speedups:

  • 15x Faster Compilation: Introduced persistent compilation caching for Arduino board targets, accelerating subsequent compilations.

• Desktop & Layout Improvements:

  • Fixed window layouts, responsive side panel navigation, external link redirection, and localized translation sync.
  • Cleaned up verbose compiler logs and resolved simulation timeout locks.

• Core Simulation Stack:

  • 31 emulated boards — Arduino Uno/Mega/Nano, ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-S3/ESP32-C3, RP2040/RP2350, STM32, ATtiny85, and more
  • 150+ components — resistors, capacitors, LEDs, sensors, displays, motors, ICs, and wireless modules
  • Real CPU emulation — not a toy simulator; actual compiled Arduino firmware running on emulated hardware
  • SPICE analog simulation — accurate voltage/current analysis for analog circuits
  • AI agent — connect Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter for AI-assisted design and debugging
  • Serial monitor — real-time serial output from emulated boards
  • Multi-file sketches — write Arduino code with multiple .ino and .h files
  • Library manager — search and install Arduino libraries directly from the app
  • Project save/load — save your circuits and code as shareable project files
  • Export — generate Arduino sketches from your circuit designs
  • Setup wizard — guided first-run experience with board and AI configuration

Supported Platforms

Platform	Format	Notes
Linux (x86_64)	AppImage	Universal — works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and derivatives
Linux (x86_64)	.deb	Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
Linux (x86_64)	.pkg.tar.zst	Arch Linux / Manjaro — install with pacman -U circuit-muse-1.0.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Windows (x86_64)	.exe (NSIS)	Windows 10/11 installer
Windows (x86_64)	.msi	Windows MSI installer
macOS (ARM64)	.dmg	Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)

System Requirements

• RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended
• Disk: 500 MB free space (includes bundled arduino-cli and board cores)
• OS: Linux (kernel 5.4+), Windows 10+, macOS 12+

First Launch

1. Open the app — the setup wizard will guide you through board and AI configuration
2. Pick an emulated board from the canvas
3. Place components and wire them up
4. Write Arduino code in the editor
5. Hit Compile & Run to see your circuit come alive

Known Limitations

• macOS build is ARM64 only (Apple Silicon). Intel Macs not yet supported.
• WiFi/Bluetooth emulation is limited to basic packet loops
• Some advanced ESP32 peripherals (USB-OTG, camera) are not emulated
• Arduino-cli is bundled but core downloads require internet on first use

Credits

Built with Tauri, React, Pyodide, and Arduino CLI.
