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.

Thank you for the offer, even if you don’t get to me.

While we're on the subject, allow me to plug Electrical Age: https://electrical-age.net/ It's a minecraft mod, yes. It's also a fully functional DC electrical simulation, with realism as a primary focus. Any inaccuracies are either strictly required (= it runs at 20Hz for most purposes), or allowances for decent gameplay. (Or bugs. Those are probably my fault.)

Don't discount your mod because it's made for Minecraft, this looks like a lot of fun!

ho wo use that lol to leasrn circuits ?

Been using iCircuit for iOS for a very long time, which is a C# port of falstad's engine. Only recently have I tried the demo of circuitlab; It would be much appreciated to give it a more comprehensive try... Username: up-n-atom

Thanks!

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.

Same here. This was a very useful tool to help build intuition around the theoretical homework problems from the intro circuits classes.

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.

I teach an occasional "electronics without math (except ohms law)" class at the local makerspace - I've been using falstad ever since they showed up (many thanks!)
