Abstract :
This paper describes a system composed of hardware and software to allow an individual to create an electronic circuit using a Web interface. The user interface would simulate an electronic breadboard, such as students usually use in a typical undergraduate electronics lab. A matrix of relays would allow the actual components to be connected in any manner that the user specifies over the web. In this way, a user will be able to remotely wire up a variety of circuits and take measurements without needing to physically be in the laboratory
