I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for purchasing software for electronic simulation. This is strictly at a hobbyist level. I am looking for some pretty basic features such as testing the use of resistors, diodes, capacitors, LED's, transistors, gates, and common IC's. I am looking for a good selection of parts within the software or even expandable. I do not mind paying more then a hundred dollars or so for this. I would like benchmarking tools available such as osciliscopes and multimeters. I am really liking TINA although I am not sure how long it will take me to grow out of the basic version. Does anyone have any suggestions.

There's plenty of free software on the net. Sometimes it's a somewhat limited version of a commercial product, so you can try it out to see if it suits you.

hey there Rleo6965. I really like the functionality of new wave concepts. I think this is exactly what I am looking for. I downloaded the demo and all I can do is test the circuits they provide. Do you have any recommendations on where to download/purchase the full version of this software?

I downloaded that, and it looks very good, but I can't get it to work on my computer. There is only a list of files and some of them won't open on my computer. Vista O.S.
Will I be a pirate by using this if I could get it to work?

LTSPICE is pretty good and has quite a few features.

It works great on my Vista OS as well does the pro version now being sold under the name Altium Designer, but I mostly use Multisim Pro.
Thanks a lot for Circuit Maker link! I finally got it to work and I spent a few hours today learning how to use it.
