CircuitLab simulation

[Demon]

I just discovered this online tool.

https://www.circuitlab.com/


I just completed the first lesson as I was watching the video and I'm really impressed. So far it seems to be free.




I can't even remember Ohm's Law, so a tool like this is worth gold to a potato-head like me. Just drag and drop the devices, adjust voltages, and BOOM! You get nice graphs to help you chose components.

EDIT: Ok, so I found out where they make their money, it's from memberships (I found out when I tried to save a file):

EDIT: Aaaaaaand BOOM! I just found out how they force you to get a membership. I did just a few simulations and they shut down the feature until I "upgrade".

Still, $79/year is not a bad price to pay for a tool like this.

Unless someone has a better tool for less than $79/year, I'm most likely going to sign up (at least at the basic level to test the waters).

I'm pretty sure I have SPICE in KiCad, but I haven't really looked into it. I'm getting "SPICE errors" on simple circuits.

I guess I should spend some google time to see if I can get anywhere with SPICE. That tool comes up a lot online, I'm assuming it's pro-level stuff.
