This is the third and final article in a series on fault finding. This article looks at the situation where pupils are designing, building and testing their own PCBs. It looks at both PIC and non-PIC circuits, and focuses in particular on the use of computer simulation to avoid faults in circuit and PCB design.

Ever wondered whether your latest PICAXE project idea would actually work in real life? Well, now you can find out with the new PICAXE circuit simulator software. PICAXE Virtual System Modelling (VSM) is a new circuit simulator that combines a virtual PICAXE chip with animated components and Berkeley SPICE circuit analysis to produce a simulation of a complete PICAXE project.
