Title: circuit simulator software
Post by: CrashOverron on October 13, 2008, 06:35:04 AM

hey im pretty new to all of this but i was wondering if there was some software to simulate a circuit board instead of putting everything on a breadboard...i know im lazy lol but seemed like a decent idea

I am kinda new to this also, but when searching for the same thing, I found a program called PCB123. It is linked to a company that sells the circuit that you design, but it does allow you to construct pcb's and test them

For AVR and its peripherals the best thing is VMlab http://www.amctools.com/download.htm (http://www.amctools.com/download.htm) (free).
There is a bunch of different analog simulators: tina TI http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tina-ti.html (http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tina-ti.html) (free)
The simplest and the most powerful ( analog +digital+micro) : Proteus http://www.labcenter.co.uk/products/advancedsim.cfm (http://www.labcenter.co.uk/products/advancedsim.cfm) (  ;) )
