Circuit Simulator applet

I've never been good with electronics. Computers, sure, but electronics, not so much. Although I studied them in school, it just seemed like so much trouble to go to for something to actually happen. I guess I just appreciate microprocessors and the things they can do.

Speaking of things they can do, Circuit Simulator is a Java applet that will allow you to simulate the effects of different electronic components on a circuit graphically. It also includes some complex circuits, and some everyday circuits like a three-way light switch so you can observe exactly how they work.

I wish I'd had this back when I was in school struggling to understand the circuit board project I had to build. At least playing with an acid bath was fun.
