System And Method For Electrical Theory Simulator

An interactive computer-based circuit modeling simulator to provide a user with an educational tool substantially duplicating and expanding a hardware-based breadboard educational tool, comprising:

• a processor for simulating hardware functionality of a schematic component, a power supply and a testing device;
• a user input for receiving inputs from a user to effectuate a hardware configuration using said schematic component, said power supply and said testing device;
• said processor further configured for simulating functionality of said configuration based upon user input attributes for each of said schematic component, said power supply and said testing device, and based upon connectivity of each of said schematic component, said power supply and said testing device;
• and
• a display for providing an output via said simulated testing device to said user based upon said simulated functionality of said configuration.

An interactive computer-based circuit modeling method to provide a user with an educational tool substantially duplicating and expanding a hardware-based breadboard educational tool, comprising the steps of:

• programming a circuit modeling simulator to duplicate a hardware-based breadboard educational tool and maintaining the circuit modeling simulator at a processor;
• providing a user with a user input device for inputting commands to create and test a simulated electronic circuit on the duplicated hardware-based breadboard educational tool;
• and
• providing a display for illustrating a simulated operation of the simulated electronic circuit on the duplicated hardware-based breadboard educational tool.
