VoltageDevider

VoltageDevider Project Summary

Current Status

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

Next Steps

1. Implement tolerance calculations

   • Add tolerance values for each E-series
   • Calculate and display the effect of tolerance on output voltage

2. Add filtering options

   • Total resistance (min/max)
   • Power limits
   • Current limits

3. Implement circuit load input

   • Allow user to specify load resistance
   • Recalculate voltage divider considering load effect

4. Create info popup

   • Display formulas for voltage divider calculations
   • Show base E-series values
   • Provide brief usage instructions

Implementation Details

• 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

Goals

• 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.
