| It is possible to extract the apk using an app like myappsharer

| The only correct answer, really.

| The AOE lab book is also great if you like guided learning.

| Anybody know how this compares to iCircuit 3D?

| The answer: no. It has a small variety discrete 74-series

| multiplexers, etc), 555 timer, counters, a RAM and an EPROM,

| But maybe it will be some day?

| (28C16). An HD44780-based LCD is in progress.

| Sigh.

| Looks great from the screenshots and forum posts, and I've been

| I've tried to do so in the past and never seem to have the time
| and inclination while I'm near my workbench. Here's hoping this
| will let me learn enough to be able to "graduate" to the next
| level, and actually create some useful things at the bench
| instead of just trying to learn there.
