Good electronics simulator for beginner?

(1/9) > >>

Hi folks,

Curious what others are using to simulate small example/learning circuits. I currently use http://everycircuit.com (both the webapp and the mobile) which is fantastic for me - love the ease of graphing any of the circuit points so I can instantly see relationships e.g. watching inductors resist current changes in real time. Love that I can dilate time easily - this is a big deal as a lot of what I am playing with I just don't have oscilloscope bandwidth to catch in real life.

My only big complaint is that the app kills my CPU, even on simple circuits, and can crash (so I'm now used to saving my work frequently).

Does anyone have recommendations on beginner-friendly simulators? 

Mr. Scram:
I like the one below. It's simple and doesn't require an account or logging in like Everycircuit.

Ditto.

I am a recent adopter to LTSpice.  It took me a bit to make it do what I expect from spice (give me control of models).  While it may not be the most user friendly simulator, it is the best thing going for free, hands down.

Just invest the time and learn it and there will be no turning back!!

Yep
