I would like to start building small electrical projects but it's been a very long time since I studied circuit analysis in college. I figured that there are probably some computer programs that would help people like myself to design simple circuits. A quick Google search led me to this site - The Top 50 Tools for an Electrical Engineer’s Toolbox. There are a lot of links to various programs there and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of those or can recommend something that is either free or relatively cheap. Thanks for your replies.

BTW, the projects that I'm referring to are circuits that I could hook up to a Raspberry Pi to control various devices and switches.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
