You Don't Need Hardware to master the Hardware.

Hello Hackers, "You Don't need Hardware to Master the Hardware", Yes, you read it right. that's the Title of this post.

This was the first thought that came in my mind, when I was playing with Autodesk's 123D Circuits.
[Actually One more came, You no more need real hardware for prototyping your Idea]

For those who don't know about 123d.circuits.io, It's a web-tool, which allow you to build, design and simulate your electronics projects online. Am really thankful to the team of 123D circuits for creating such a beautiful tool.

It allows you to read sensors, read buttons, trigger buzzers, turn on motors (simulation) and you can go ahead and design the PCB for the same.

It's component library is full of most required, most used peripherals.
You can easily find Analog parts - OPAMP, digital ICs , Electro-mechanical parts, Motors & Relays, Switches, Sensors, Kits. (You know what, you must visit and go through it.)  
Further more, you can also design your own part or import Eagle Project..

One more thing it is best tool to master Arduino programming.

• You can write sketch.
• You can compile sketch.
• You can simulate that sketch.
• Everything Done nicely.

Watch the Video for features.

I recently use 123D circuits, for prototyping one of my project. It was a great experience. It helps debugging fast and efficient.Self Cleaning Filter

I think you should go ahead and start using this tool for building cool projects. It is cool, you can access it from anywhere.

When I was in college, there wasn't any compelling tool like this, thanks to the technology, now you have plenty of them, you just have to get your ass, sit tight and innovate.  

Keep hacking, Keep Making and Keep Innovating.
