    OK the smoke was really funny

    I appreciated that smoke comes out of the battery if you short it :)

    Edit: I am ex EE. I will note that it's horrible using this view. It is marginally more horrible than using breadboards in reality. Schematics exist because reality tends to suck or have inconsistencies. For example TO-99 packages come in different pin orders, so 2N3904 has the opposite order to a BC547. Also breadboards tend not to have full length bus bars depending on vendors. At least though in this form it's an ideal representation though which doesn't have parasitic capacitors, inductors, dodgy contacts and no ground plane all over it.

    It is good fun though :)

    Looks great, but pretty difficult to work with. Would be nice to be able to switch to top view to see more clearly where you're plugging things.

      You can click the background and drag to rotate the view

        It's still clunky though. It's a great, cool thing that OP built but just not very practical.

    Super cool. Wonder if we can input the circuit as code.

    the 3D look is cool but makes it harder to put stuff together
