    Electronics simulation software suggestions

    Good day folks, hope I'm posting under the right section. This might be too generic a question, but I'm looking for some advice concerning a "good" electronics simulator...I know there are quite a lot to choose from and normally I'd refer to the internet for such a topic, but I'd like to hear some personal opinions rather than generic descriptions some website gives. What would you recommend that's both comprehensive and rather easy to use ? Cheers

      Try playing with some of the free simulators and see what features you need vs. the features you want. Generic schematic simulation or PCB layout with simulation. Analog, digital or mixed signals are completely different animals. When you get up to the HIGH frequencies you need to start looking at physical conductor design of interconnects between devices

          Hi DannyX. have a look at the link below and see if there is anything suitable there, I have used EasyEDA for some basic circuits but it is extremely powerful and has lots of options & a very good Simulator, the website also features User projects and circuits, best of luck

              Spice is very old and awkward to use. Engineers get ok with it but I don't know what is simpler for beginners.
              LTSpice is free and quite good, used in schools and a lot of help on the Web. But still a pain sometimes.

                  Artist seeking to tinker with electronics safely
                  by Hypersapien
                  Howdy folks! I'm an artist in the video game industry, and my job entails making a lot of mechanical and sci fi assets. I thought it might be a good practice to start disassembling some electronics to be more familiar with how real electronics are manufactured and assembled, which is how i found my way to these forums.

                  When I started researching what tools I might need, I quickly encountered the warning "Some devices can maintain a potentially lethal charge in their capacitors, even up to years after last being powered on", which was enough of a scary thought for me to...

                  HP OMEN 15-ax204ns burnt component on the board
                  by Jag013
                  Good afternoon everyone,
                  First of all, I’d like to apologize for my level of English.

                  I have an HP OMEN 15-ax204ns laptop, purchased in 2018, with the following specifications:
                  • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
                  • 4.00 + 4.00 GB RAM
                  • 1TB hard drive
                  • Product ID: 00325-96088-89605-AAOEM
                  • Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit

                  It is in its original state, with no hardware modifications except for the battery, which had swollen and was replaced with a compatible one.



                  For three or four months, I used the new battery without any issues, but...

                  Backup To OneDrive Software? Everything! Best Software?
                  by NeedsPractice
                  I contacted Microsoft and they said they do not have software to where you could backup all your files to one drive. I mean you can copy some of your files to your one drive folder and back stuff up. However, it does not do this automatically.

                  I have around (10) hard drives I want to backup to the cloud with One Drive. What is the best software to do this with?

                  AOMEI Backupper
                  I Drive
                  Easeus

                  I do not want a Cloud Plan. I just need the software to take my DATA and Transfer it to the cloud in a nice, readable, viewable fashion. I wish...

                  iMac fan ramps up after shutting down. Software? SMC? FET?
                  by BMCappelletti
                  Hi everyone.
                  There are some topics here (also on a lot of other places) regarding this issue, but I believe none has a definitive answer. At least I didn't see anyone saying it really worked for them.
                  In my case I have an iMac A1418 (late 2012) that the fan goes full blast (or at least ramps up the speed) after going to sleep or turning the computer off.
                  It's not a software issue, cause it was formatted and it happens with any MacOS version I test.
                  At some places people say it would be an issue with the S5 rail. Others say it's the S0 rail. And some others say it's an SMC...

                  JVC LT-55C870(B) Corrupt Software??
                  by Russ17
                  Hi,

                  I have a JVC LT-55C870(C). All that happens upon applying power is the red led flashes slowly (1Hz).
                  If I hold the OK on the remote while powering on, the led flashes at 2Hz, but without a USB Device attached, it obviously does nothing, no screen or backlight.

                  Any thoughts on this being corrupted software?

                  Owner says the TV experienced a power surge.

                  If software is a possibility, can someone point me in the right direction to download the correct software. Is there a procedure to force software to load from USB?
                  ...
