I have a CS background and are interested in learning more about electronics. Is there a good beginners tool I can use to accurately simulate electronic diagrams and learn from?
- rramadass 5y agoDigilent (now part of National Instruments) has some good HW and SW (with accompanying tutorials) for students. * HW - Analog Discovery 2 or Analog Discovery Studio - https://digilent.com/shop/test-and-measurement-equipment/usb-oscilloscopes-analyzers-and-signal-generators/ https://digilent.com/shop/test-and-measurement-equipment/usb... * SW - Multisim - https://digilent.com/shop/ni-multisim-student-edition-circuit-design-and-simulation-software https://digilent.com/shop/ni-multisim-student-edition-circui... * Tutorials - https://learn.digilentinc.com/ https://learn.digilentinc.com/
- mbrodersen 5y agoThanks. Much appreciated.
- rramadass 5y agoThe Analog Discovery 2 + Digital Discovery from Digilent will give you everything. They are small, easy to carry and the Waveforms software interface is pretty good. You might also want to take a look at; * RedPitaya STEMLab - https://redpitaya.com/ https://redpitaya.com/ * Saleae - https://www.saleae.com/ https://www.saleae.com/
- runnerup 5y agoThis tool helped me a lot over the past decade, and I still jump to it for simple circuit simulation at work (I do embedded firmware development, but lots and lots of oscilloscope/multimeter/logic analyzer use to troubleshoot and validate) https://www.falstad.com/circuit/ https://www.falstad.com/circuit/ This tool is fast enough to whip things up during a troubleshooting session alongside Electrical Engineers, and thorough "enough" to be used as a reasonable reference by the Electrical Engineers.
- mbrodersen 5y agoThanks! I will check it out.
