I remember this tool, we used it in one of our college courses. We first build the project in the simulator, and later do the same with real Arduino and components. It really comes in handy when you're first starting out and do not want to invest in an Arduino kit.

Is it really fair to get angry at something for being a free service?

[AndyBa]

Great as an introduction to programming. I use it in the first few lesson's for teaching microcotrollers. You can use the scratch code alongside the c++. Takes some of the difficulties out of it. Also students can use it at home without spending any money. Win, win.

[MarkLawry]

I love it. I work with a child over the internet. Sending a screen shot of tinkercad circuit makes it easy to describe what they need to build. A great way to document the circuit gor a project.

[gsbufo]

Nice program. I have designed a lot of 3D projects and printed them out. But its gets more difficult when the object is very complicated.

[RobertPatterson]

I like it but it doesn't have a stepper motor. Is there a way to simulate a stepper?

[TheScissorunner]

6:39 “If you’re new to Arduino.”
Sums up TinkerCad usefulness.

[darp_ramani]

It's matter of opinion, but it's very courageous decision of you to talk about this .
Hats off to you

[steverileyretired]

Ive been using it for my 3D printing for over 1 year

[wernerviehhauser]

Some things need improvement, like doing multiple things simultaneously in a simulation, LEDs controlling photosensors, or a better code for OpAmps (couldn't get an 2 opamp oscillator to run). So, it's not perfect, but it gets a lot of the job done - by 5th graders.

[Not-motivated-enough]

It looks like a solid starter platform sadly I can't use it since it does not seem to work on my tablet and I can't use a computer for physical reasons 😢

[Darknt]

I would love it but i cant get a button to work in it... its easier irl

[catchulater]

I tried it. Didnt get angry… but it doesnt seem to do what i needed. If your interested in designing your own usage from different components that are not present in their program your just out of luck. Difficult to add libraries. Forget about adding ANY cytron motor drivers.

Sir can you please help me out with my project?
My project is with gsm module sim 800l and it's not sending sms .
But when I am giving power to it then it connected to the network but when I run my code it doesn't send the sms😣.
The code is also correct.
But don't know how to fix it and in serial monitor it says AT+CMGS="number" .

Now please help me out sir 😖.

My 3D projects suddenly quit loading using Chrome. It works fine in Edge. My electronic projects work fine in either. Trying to get this diagnosed has been challenging. I've made many 3D models and even more electronic circuits. Doesn't matter which computer I use so it has something to do with my account somehow maybe. Otherwise, I love it. Thanks.

[ayoubazzouz]

i coud not find a modele bluetooth hc06

[davepodolske]

Is there a more comprehensive version that costs money?

[Industriedampfnudel]

Too bad that Autodesk has switched (some years ago) to a subscription model for their software.

[mayd]

There are other simulators like „Wokwi“ which are good aswell

[DD-jjtc]

It sucks, the virtual multimeter doesn't care how your leads are set when you go from volt to current if you did that in real world you would pop your multimeter
