TinkerCAD Circuits web-based software allows us to create physical or mechanical drawings for circuits that we connect using breadboards.
Using TinkerCAD Circuits you can create documentation that is hard or impossible to create in schematic capture software like Kicad. It is used for a different type of documentation focused the physical or mechanical connections of a circuit or system. It could also be used to create a block or functional diagram of a circuit. Many people use TinkerCAD Circuits to create circuits that youngsters will build so they do not need to understand schematics and the translation needed to implement a schematic on a breadboard.
This video will talk about the use and function of TinkerCAD Circuits and do a very brief quick-start and provide links to tutorials that you should use to learn more. As with all software programs, you will need to gather experience by trying things over many months and look at examples that others have completed. Only then will you gain enough experience to not forget how to use this tool on the future. Have fun, it is cool!
