Design and Testing programs

The operation of transmitters designed to jam or block wireless communications is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). See 47 U.S.C. Sections 301, 302a, 333. The Act prohibits any person from willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act or operated by the U.S. government. 47 U.S.C. Section 333. The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited. 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b). Parties in violation of these provisions may be subject to the penalties set out in 47 U.S.C. Sections 501-510. Fines for a first offense can range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the U.S. government.

Design and Testing programs

Post by ItalianPride »

For any of the more advanced users, what programs do you know of or use that would allow to test different electronics projects. A program that would allow me to virtually design something, maybe apply different voltages across it, add different resistors, capacitors, etc and also even do calculations of values (amperage, voltages) needed.

I just want some recommendations.

Thanks!

I wouldn't have thought the sub-forum explicity for the Wavebubble would have been the best choice to ask a question about General Project Help. Especially one thats as quiet as this. There's a small hint by the way...

I personally use a less than legal copy of EagleCAD to design PCBs/Schematics and do the testing as a mix of actually building the circuit or just doing the maths. If your looking for something to do the maths for you you'll probably be wanting SPICE for general analogue circuits, the best version I've found is the LTspice by Linear Technologies, which is free and pretty flexablehowever it's aimed at professional electronic engineers so can be a bit difficult to understand. There are also ones such as Livewire that are more aimed at hobbists and students.
