Engineers in need of a real-time electronic circuit simulator to setup a circuit with various components and simulate behavior of the electronic circuit
About PROTO
Learn electronics by using examples in PROTO application, and try many components available in our application. You can use resistors, diodes, transistors, and much more. Observe signals on a channel oscilloscope and analyze them with ease. During simulation, you can check voltages, currents and many other variables. Check signals on the multichannel oscilloscope and tune your circuit in real-time. Our app can greatly help with your Raspberry Pi, Arduino or ESP32 project. You can also use PROTO as logic circuit simulator and perform digital electronic analysis.

CircuitSim
CircuitSim is a full SPICE circuit simulator with a 3,000+ component library and a modern schematic editor. No install, free to get started. Built for students, educators, and professionals.
It runs in a browser tab and needs no admin rights, so it works on Chromebooks and locked-down school laptops. Run seven kinds of analysis: interactive, interactive operating point, transient, AC sweep, DC operating point, DC sweep, and parameter sweep. Results plot on oscilloscope-style charts, with probes you can drop anywhere in the circuit. Define custom parts from SPICE model text or import KiCad symbols.
CircuitSim also imports Multisim Live designs ahead of that product's retirement on September 15, 2026. It is the only browser tool that opens .csim, .ms14, and .msjs files, and it rebuilds the schematic with wiring, placement, net labels, probes, and simulation settings intact.
Classroom licensing adds seat assignment, anonymous student seats, and private student work.

Sensbench
Sensbench is a browser-based circuit and microcontroller simulator for learning, prototyping, and testing Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, and other supported boards. Users place virtual boards and components on a breadboard, connect circuits, edit sketches, compile firmware, and run it in an emulated microcontroller while viewing serial output and component behavior. It also supports SPICE analog simulation and mixed digital-analog circuits. Guided examples and virtual sensors, displays, LEDs, relays, and other parts are included. An optional AI builder turns a written project request into a parts list, wiring plan, and firmware, while an MCP server lets compatible AI clients operate the workbench. The core simulator is free to use in a web browser; optional AI credits and subscription plans add AI usage and project features. Sensbench also sells physical project kits with pre-flashed boards and guides, including kits designed to connect to Home Assistant over local Wi-Fi.

EveryCircuit
One animated circuit is worth a thousand equations and diagrams. Animations of voltages, currents, and charges are displayed right on top of the schematic, providing great insight into circuit operation. The real-time circuit simulation engine is custom-built for speed and interactivity. Easy one-click simulation, from simple resistors and logic gates to complex transistor-level oscillators and mixed-signal designs. While the simulation is running, you can flip switches, adjust potentiometers, tune LED current limiting resistors, ramp up input voltages, etc. The circuit will immediately respond to your changes, in real time. Mini-waveforms on top of schematic wires look different for digital and analog signals. Constant analog voltages are shown as numbers, digital wires are color-coded. Any pair of time-domain signals may be plotted in the XY mode. The oscilloscope scale and grid ticks are auto-updated to convenient values as the data changes.
