• Control an electric circuit from my computer

  Assuming you don't heed my warning and don't mind your friends beating you to pulp, I'll help I've seen usb widgets that can control electrical things. I think I was a power strip that can be so controlled at adafruit.com. Likewise, I built a robot whose sensors and motors were controlled via usb. This was before the Raspberry Pi's, so I used a ITX board (small form PC motherboard that was running Linux). Source: 6 months ago

• Got a full-time job. Now what?

  If you want to get into embedded programming I'd start at adafruit.com. Source: 10 months ago

• How can I get started with embedded systems that isn't Arduino?

  Professional eval systems can be quite good, but what I'd recommend is going over to adafruit.com. They have a massive amount of small embeddable boards, as well as i2c peripheral boards when you just need that extra function. They are very easy to prototype in CircuitPython but can also be programmed with Arduino. I know you want to avoid Arduino, so what you want for a more professional environment is...

• Where do I begin with Python?

  Adafruit.com is an online store that sells all of this stuff though you can find everything much cheaper on alibaba, ebay and others. Adafruit is host to a whole library of projects and tutorials with comprehensive instructions, code and images. Source: 11 months ago

• Need guidance, I'm building a startup with no exp

  Many of the suggestions here fit those cases: the PI, the Arduino. I'd like to recommend that you look at the controllers from AdaFruit. I've seen that they do a substantial amount of work to ensure that their controller boards work well with the chips and displays that thye do. Source: about 1 year ago

• I am trying to recreate this circuit in TinkerCAD, which is not giving me the correct current values. What am I doing wrong here?

  Have you tried modeling it in falstad's onine circuit simulator? Source: 10 months ago

• How do engineers be confident when printing a PCB?

  Simulation is not viable for all but the most trivial circuits, and even then it won't catch things like a wrong footprint. I do occasionally use the Falstad simulator for simple analog circuits, but that just isn't possible with complicated digital ICs. Source: 11 months ago

• How can I derive the equation on the right? Please help!

  I don't know, but you could try simulating the circuit in Falstad circuit simulator to look at what is going on. Source: 11 months ago

• ELI5: How to make an electrical circuit that can be switched on and of at specific intervals?

  You can use Falstad to make sure you have a basic understanding of how relays work. Source: 12 months ago

• Need recommendations for PCB simulation and printing software

  This is quit comprehensive, but missing the awesome and intuitive online simulator: falstad. Source: 12 months ago
