The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff

Via seedstudio, I bumped into EasyEDA – Wikipedia. It seems there are a lot of on-line tools that allow you to draw and often simulate electronics.

Time to put them on my list of stuff to play around with:

• EasyEDA – Online PCB design & circuit simulator
• Bring ideas to life with free online Arduino simulator and PCB apps | Autodesk Circuits (requires logon)
• [WayBack] 10 Circuit Design Simulation Apps for Pros & DIYers | EE Times (about half of them web-based or browser-based, but they didn’t include EasyEDA) the ones that are:
  • circuits.io
  • circuitlab.com
  • docircuits.com
  • partsim.com

Circuitlab also has a nice free interactive book: [WayBack] “Ultimate Electronics” Book – CircuitLab A free interactive electronics textbook, “Ultimate Electronics”

Later – via issue #1 of [WayBack] HackSpace magazine: The new magazine for the modern maker – I also found out about Fritzing which is off-line native software that I want to check out as it is open source:

[Archive.is] Fritzing

It helps a lot knowing there are various Electronic symbol – Wikipedia: Standards for symbols, covering much more than the one below:

To make it easier, power supplies have a host of different symbols for the same things. For instance, DC can have 3 or more different symbols. [WayBack] Electric Current Symbols
