I saw a demo of one many yearss ago, but can't remember what it was called ....  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-23-2006 12:52 PM                     This exists for just about all aspect of circuit design work but I am not aware of a general ohms law version. Try contacting an electronics school or jonior college in your area if you can't come up with anything.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-23-2006 02:45 PM                     I came across 'crocodile clips' a while back whilst swotting up for my amateur radio licence. Damned if can remember where I downloaded it from, but I think this is the same program http://www.softlookup.com/display.asp?id=2877  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 04-24-2006 06:47 PM                     I have used and learned a lot from this software: CircuitMaker Circuit Maker from Microcode Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, CircuitMaker provides fast, powerful yet affordable schematic design and simulation in one complete program. This intuitive, easy-to-use "Virtual Electronics Lab" gives you the flexibility to design and test electronic circuits, trying all the "what if" scenarios without ever worrying about faulty parts or bad connections.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-29-2006 04:33 PM                     I used to use one called Mcap in the Dos days also Electronics Workbench  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 04-30-2006 04:15 PM                     Yes; shortly after I also found Electronics Workbench. It seems a nice simple program that does everything I need for 'show and tell' teaching. Circuit Maker also looks good Crocodile Clips looked like it was also good enough (and it's freeware!) but it was written for Win 3.1 and did some funky things on our XP machine. Thanks, everyone!  |  IP: Logged
