We've implemented a basic voltage divider calculator with a PySimpleGUI interface. The app currently:
- Uses E-series resistor values (E3, E6, E12, E24, E48, E96)
- Calculates and displays multiple resistor combinations
- Shows voltage, current, and power for each combination
- Avoids redundant resistor combinations
- Uses a Discord-inspired theme for the GUI
-
Implement tolerance calculations
- Add tolerance values for each E-series
- Calculate and display the effect of tolerance on output voltage
-
Add filtering options
- Total resistance (min/max)
- Power limits
- Current limits
-
Implement circuit load input
- Allow user to specify load resistance
- Recalculate voltage divider considering load effect
-
Create info popup
- Display formulas for voltage divider calculations
- Show base E-series values
- Provide brief usage instructions
- Use PySimpleGUI for all GUI elements
- Maintain Discord theme for consistency
- Ensure all new features are integrated into the existing calculate_voltage_divider and find_best_resistor_combinations functions
- Update the layout to include new input fields for filters and load
- Consider adding a separate tab or window for the info popup
- Create a comprehensive, user-friendly voltage divider calculator
- Provide practical results for real-world applications
- Educate users about voltage divider principles and E-series resistors
Remember to update the VoltageDevider.py file with each new feature implementation.
