The circuit will work. It's just a limitation of the simulator. See here: https://github.com/sharpie7/circuitjs1/issues/634
For now just add a 1 milliohm resistor in series.
I see. Thank you for your reply. I'll do the workaround then.
If I put a capacitor between positive and negative of a DC voltage source, I cannot start the simulation. It keeps complaining that there's a capacitor loop without a resistor. But decoupling caps don't need a series resistor, as far as I know. Granted, I'm not an electrical engineer, but every example I can find on the web always has them directly between + and - (which makes sense to me).
Example circuit (I use a simple resistor as a load, but imagine it's something that requires a stable voltage, like a µC):
I apologise if my lack of electronic knowledge is the issue here, but seems to me that this circuit should work. I actually built it on a breadboard, and the universe didn't collapse. ;)
