123D Circuits
123d Circuits is an online circuit simulation and design program by Autodesk. In the software you can build simulated circuit boards similar to what we create with physical parts and breadboards, and can simulate programable microcontrollers like Arduinos. These simulations can then be turned into physical devices. In our class lessons, this software also provides us with various tools that we can use to check your own work.
