Browser Circuit Design & Sim

Hmm, looks like a...JS ripoff?? Looks very similar, don't see any acknowledgement.

What is JS?

I'm amazed at how many different programs and demos that guy's web page has; he must have put an awful lot of time into it.

JavaScript. The website below, of course, is all Java Applets -- similar but different. AFAIK, JS runs entirely in the browser; Applets are started in the browser and run using the Java Runtime (much like embedded Flash runs using the installed Adobe stuff), which is only one step removed from a full-on Java executable (which uses the Java Runtime and nothing else, unless it can also be linked/compiled for a target system, I'm not sure).

At any rate, yeah, Falstad is a wonderful resource of E&M and physics and stuff!

Agreed, lots of interesting stuff there too!

The Circuitlab site seems to use HTML5 (some interesting info when you view the source).

I like the idea of being able to post (links to) circuits and have others experiment-on/modify them.

It seems many people on this group (& others) post pics to schematics and/or Spice netlists - this site consolidates all of that.

FWIW Chris.

The problem is that many of us professional users of Spice tools aren't likely to go to any length to use another tool just to pass it onto SED.

No matter what others use... IF it can generate a netlist I can "play" it in PSpice.

If you can train yourself to work from a PDF and a netlist, you definitely can run my PSpice stuff in LTspice and perhaps in Circuitlab... though I see no such way there at the moment.

I do note that Circuitlab is being developed by a couple of members of the Brass Rat Club, so it bears watching (that ought to aggravate Larkin... I will be awarded my red blazer in June :-) ...Jim Thompson

OK. I'll bite, what is Brass Rat Club?
