Cool I liked making electronic stuff on garry’s mod, now I can go 1 step further :D

This looks like fun, but as a coder the logic side of things isn’t what I need most help with – I want to get familiar with good circuit design. I know there are full electronics simulators out there; what do people recommend?

macegr: that looks perfect, and last update was only 16 days ago!

This is very cool, I’m trying this out for sure. This would come in handy for prototyping stuff if you have it on a laptop and are traveling or something and spending time away from your work bench.

this looks fantastic. Thanks to josh/macegr/rak0ribz for the other recommendations. this is one of those things that I’ve always been looking for but didn’t really know it…
anybody tried this in wine?

it’s windows(and wine) only, but there’s been a fairly decent (open source) logic software free from http://www.softronix.com/logic.html for years. It’s pretty good and I still use it every now and then, although this one looks a bit “cooler” and more fully featured.

how does this software differ from LogicWorks, other than being free??

Very cool. the example library demonstrates many different 7400 series chips and is very educational.

@mike…thanks, I just assumed it was windows only based on the windows screenshot. had I done 10 seconds of investigation….

@bencoder…thanks for the softronix link….

Could any of you guys suggest an ebook for basics of electronics?
Thank you!

One place that I have found useful for grasping some concepts is http://electronics.wisc-online.com/DCE.asp
I find the way they break down a concept and animate what’s going on really helps.

They also have tutorials on AC and solid state electronics.

Thank you all for the replies :)

Does it come with a breadboard router? lol, j/k

I much prefer logisim. Free and open-source from http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~burch/logisim/ .

I cant get this to install. what should i do??
