QuoteMake your circuits live!

CircuitBee provides a platform for you to share live versions of your circuit schematics on your websites, blogs or forums.

Features include full zooming capability, panning, and even mouse over tips about symbols in the schematic.

It sure beats a blurry screenshot or a giant PDF!

is this good or bad? will they be 'censoring' circuits ala youtube censoring videos? not sure if i should even hold my breath...

I'm surprised you missed that they convert your upload
to their own propriatary format that only they can render...

Sure makes flippin' the switch awful easy, doesn't it ?

i didn't miss that at all... hence the "is this good or bad?" question and the 'i won't hold my breath'.

yes, it certainly does.

The software supports FireFox, which I don't have on this borrowed computer.  There are other computers, though.
     I have no way to upload diagrams to the 'Web.  And my qwerty ascii stuff is goofed up by the file format data processing effort of the individual platform(s).
     I can look again later from another computer, however.  This might be okay.

Yeah,
ASCII line-art schematics can only be posted as a "Code block",
by also changing the font to a fixed-width font like FixedSys.

This forum software supports it,
but "Insert code block" is disabled,
odd for a technical forum to have that disabled...

Here is what they support for browsers and imports:
