Amazing Circuit Build and Simulation Java Applet

[Chris_Elston]

Ran across this Java applet today.

You can build electronic circuits and simulate them. You can also throw in a scope and measure voltages across any point in the circuit. What a great tool!

By far the coolest thing I've seen today (and I've seen a lot of cool things today).

Thanks Chris!

I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind the students that Altium (which is free in the kit of parts) has a simulation package built in. It doesn't have the cool visualizations, but it is a bit more flexible.

I've always liked using SwitcherCad (http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/index.jsp) for any small circuit simulations I've needed to do for personal projects. It's not as powerful as the Altium software, but it's free for anyone to use, not just FRC teams.
