Hello
I have a very simple circuit that illuminates an LED at 17 seconds
When i am testing, varying the Resistor and Capaitor components to adjust the timer delays ... it can take literally forever to hit 17 seconds!
Am i doing something wrong?
Is there a way for "force" real time simulation?
Thanks in advance Guys & Gals
If you are using an Arduino in your project, then my best guess is that you are not using the delay() function in your code. The Arduino simulation is optimized to make use of calls to this function to speed up the simulation. If you make your circuit public and post the link here, then I can offer suggestions to improve the performance.
Hello Joshua
Ther is not an Arduino in my circuit
Here are the x2 circuits

I have a Nano on order and would like to use this with a DC 12V Delay relay shield NE555 Timer Switch Adjustable Module 0 to 10 Second

9v feed to the nano and a 9v feed to the delay timer, then to the door chime
Appreciate your help in debugging and possibly programmiung the nano?

The two circuits seem to run fine for me on my computer. The simulation is processed on your computer. So the speed of your machine might be a factor.
May I ask your PC specs?
I wonder if this is also happening for example when clicking on a button. Sometimes I have to press the button for let's say half a second to have any input and the simulation running properly. Didn't have the chance to check this with the arduino.
Yeah, pretty useless and ridiculous. I have an i5 with 16gb o ram and it is far away from realtime.
Must pay for good simulators, this is just a nice colorful marketing.
I've just encountered the same issue. It appears confined to my regular browser, Waterfox. The other three I tried, Edge, Chrome and Firefox, were ten times faster.
