I'm currently teaching an electronics class and have used this site heavily for in-class demonstrations. Some of the concepts (like a Push-Pull amplifier) are much easier to understand when you can see a visualization of how it works.

SAME!! I don't know how I taught these subjects before I found Falstad. <3

Falstad saved me during my university year. If just all field's had this type of material ...

I remember when this was still a Java applet - nice to see that it has been since rewritten in JS.

I credit this app for being able to pass the first half of my sophomore year at University - just months before I failed four courses(the allowance was two) and was given a chance by the dean to redeem myself.

Awesome site. I've been using Circuit Jam for Android for years. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.circuitjam...

I love that I can now play with this while on my computer and with monitors..

How do I get the scope output for circuits that I build?

I used and enjoyed circuitlab.io until it went for-pay only. Nice to have an easy to use free alternative for very casual hobbyists like me.

That would be https://www.circuitlab.com/ -- I built it :)

Edit: if anyone wants, reply with your CircuitLab username and I'll give you a free membership upgrade when I get home this evening.

Wow, this would have been a game changer when I was taking EE courses. So much better than a half-working SPICE port on Mac OS X 10.2.

While we are at this subject, here's an electron wrapper of this I made for using in school environments: https://github.com/Immortalin/Simulacra
