I’m teaching myself how to create electronic circuits and electronics in general. Basically, I want to be able to intelligently fiddle with small circuit boards for some halloween anamotronic figures that have blown circuits. Spent a lot of money on these things and want to be able to fix them.

    Yes, but its not cheap one is called “circuit logix”
    and 3d lab but I think its a file of circuit logix.

    Hmmm. . . so the average time to learn electronics is 5-15 years. 5 if you learn EE in a good university, 15 if you fiddle around at home and are really serious about it.

    One wonders why you spend money on stuff you don’t understand, though? It sounds like a bad deal. If your circuits contain a dead microprocessor and you don’t have the source code or at least the binaries to load into a replacement chip, there is nothing to fix, anyway. It’s just a piece of garbage and would stay garbage even if you had a EE PhD.

    Can you ask the person who sold this crap to you where it came from and what was wrong with it? Can you get your money back?

    Just my two cents.

    If you want to learn electronics, the best thing for analog circuit design (apart from a good textbook) is a Spice simulator:

    If you are interested in digital design, get yourself the free tools from Xilinx and/or Altera and a book or two on VHDL and/or Verilog and half a dozen on digital design:

    For microprocessors, the easiest way is to start with a design kit for a small micro. You can pick up tons of these things for between $20 and $1000.

    None of this stuff will help you with your animatronics, but its fun, anyway.
