#99319 - awesome thanks
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Thanks for all the replies.
For clarification: I am not interested in becoming a professional; I already have a totally unrelated career.
The goal of this project is to learn both assembly and electronics.
Using a ready-made LM3915 and a kit would certainly work asap, but I doubt it will teach me as much as taking a bag of loose parts, a breadboard, and countless nights of failure.
I've got a starter electronics kit on the way (from Iguana Labs) and am already playing with EdSim51 -- it's got a DAC, LED, and 8051 simulator with a great step-through debug mode, and shows all the memory bit states so it's perfect to go through assembly one statement at a time and learn.
Actually I'm now more concerned about the analog parts than the microchip parts -- mic, resistors, DAC...I think figuring out a working schematic will be more difficult than the assembly that takes DAC output and makes some LEDs light up!

Anyone recommend a good PC-based simulator for schematics? Not just a schematic drawing program; are there any programs that will actually simulate running current through a schematic and screaming into a microphone?

Regards,
