What online electronics tools can/do you use to replace physical ones?

cstanton

While following along with defcon being online this year, people are trying to analyse the badge for the conference this year, which is a cassette tape. Part of that is that people want to see what the audio of the tape looks like on an oscilloscope...

Though with the lockdown happening not everyone has access to that right now, so people found there's one online:

Have you used a tool like this? Or is there another physical tool that you're able to simulate?

    In the TI Robotics Systems Learning Kit there is a software tool called TExaS that can be used to measure voltage and certain waveforms or digital timing from the MSP432 microcontroller on the PC if I…

    There are tools that I have found useful for working on electronics. I have used MatLab to simulate signal processing (both mathematically and programmatically). This was very handy when software development…

    I don't know if it qualifies as a tool, but the biggest one that comes to mind is a replacement for paper. I used to have a large library of text books, manuals and data books and all designs involved…

    Not sure if this classifies under tools, but am sharing this because this has been very much helpful for me during this lockdown. Since currently, I am in a different location away from where I have my hardware tools and kits.

     

    Raspberry Pi Azure IoT Online Simulator - https://azure-samples.github.io/raspberry-pi-web-simulator/

    I was in need of a device to send and receive data to and from Azure IoT Hub. So this simulator served the purpose. It has been programmed to simulate a Raspberry Pi connected to a temperature and humidity sensor (BME280) and it also has a red LED that blinks on every successful message sent to the Azure IoT Hub.

     

    Below is one such message sent to the Azure IoT Hub,

     

    Sending message: {"messageId":4,"deviceId":"Raspberry Pi Web Client","temperature":29.45097208558087,"humidity":60.38125184508826} >  Message sent to Azure IoT Hub

     

    These messages are then saved using Azure Stream Analytics in an Azure Table as shown in the screenshot below.
