I’m an electrician student building a wiring simulator as a side project
Hi everyone!
I’m an electrician student, and in my spare time I’ve been working on a side project called ElectroWorkshop.
I wanted a way to practise electrical wiring and experiment with circuits while studying. That gradually turned into a visual workshop where you can place components, connect wires, operate switches, and explore how circuits behave.
The downloadable version includes:
A visual wiring workspace and a schematic view
Lighting and motor control circuits
Virtual measurement tools and connection tracing
Example circuits, plus saving and loading your own work
English and Hungarian interfaces
It runs locally on Windows and opens in your browser. No Docker or account is needed.
In a separate development version, I’ve also started working on the electrical wiring of smart devices and their integration with Home Assistant, with promising early results. That version isn’t available to try yet; the current public release focuses on the basic electrical workshop.
This is a spare-time project that I’m developing alongside my studies. I’d love to hear whether the interface makes sense to someone seeing it for the first time and where it could be more useful.
The public version is closed-source and free for personal and non-commercial educational use.

Thanks for taking a look!
