Introduction

gEDA-js is a GPL electrical drawing application for the web browser.

Typical usage

• possibility to design the visual representation of electrical elements in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator
• application runs in web browser (Chromium)
• drag'n'drop desired elements onto schematic (SVG, PNG or JPG)
• add/mark electrical terminals
  • and may be edited manually
• arrange elements on the canvas
• inter-connect element terminals
• (layouting: suggest optimizations for element placement/layout to disentangle wires where possible)
  • (mark wire crossings)
• export circuit schematic as SVG with meta information, e.g. terminal coordinates and JavaScript update functions

• Terminals
• Elements
  • Wire
  • Resistor
• Visualization

Wishlist: Oscilloscope / Logic analyzer

Ideally this software should offer the opportunity to select a terminal and monitor it's voltage during circuit simulation to allow for circuit debugging.
