palmDraft (JavaScript version)

Welcome to the JavaScript version of palmDraft!

Originally designed for palm OS handhelds back in 2002, palmDraft is now ported as a JavaScript multi-platform electronics CAD application for both analog and digital (logic) circuits. You can use palmDraft on any Windows computer with the Mozilla firefox, Google Chrome or Safari for windows browser, any Mac computer within Safari browser, and also on Palm Pre, iPhone and iPod touch!

Although this version works on most web browsers, it was designed from scratch for the iPhone /iPod touch platform. With palmDraft on an iPhone, you can use the familiar pinch gestures to zoom in and out the draft sheet, use your finger to place components and draw lines, drag the sheet, and even rotate the screen to use in landscape.


Installation

The palmDraft application comes in a single HTML file. All the javascript code is embedded inside the HTML file, including the basic symbols library. On Windows/Mac computers, simply open the pDraft.html file with the Safari, Google Chrome or Mozilla browser. On the iPhone, you will need an app where you can store the pDraft HTML file and open it offline. There are many free iPhone apps that do that, in the file viewer category. You cannot use a websaver(tm) service to convert the HTML file into a data URL - the pDraft HTML is over 32k bytes and the Safari browser won't accept it. You can also host the HTML file in a server, and open it in Safari from there.

(Please read the help information within the application before using palmDraft).


I hope you find this version of palmDraft useful. If you do so, or have comments/suggestions, please let me know. If you designed a cool schematic with it and want to share it, please send me your schematic text file.

I plan to eventually add more symbols in futur versions, in the mean time if you are familiar with javascript feel free to add your own by editing the javascript in the HTML file.
