Electronics program to plan out simple devices.

Looking for a program/app that will work on win10 where I can plan simple things like switches and battiers and such.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your electronics background?

Hobbyist with a degree in mad scientist. I make random things using different batteries I rarely use resistors or anything fancy but then again I do not really do much more than ducttape crap. As crazy as I am I do not screw around with li ons without proper chargers or load balancers since they like going poof, ni cad and ni hm were not as screwy.

I'd like to get a bit more proficient but I am a poor reader since elementary school taught me to hate reading. Anyway I keep it simple and try not to tax them as any battery will either die, melt or explode if put under to much stress.

Ok, was just curious. I'm a retired electronic technician. I play around with breakout boards etc on a wireless breadboard setup. It interfaces with a Raspberry Pi single board computer.
This is one of my favorite sites, http://hackaday.com/
Some cool stuff here too, http://www.instructables.com/tag/typ...ry-technology/

I just do my schematics hand drawn on a piece of paper.

Well I was hoping a program would have some basic resistors and what not I always wanted to get a kit that lets you build various things on test boards but gaaaa I am broke and by the time I have money it goes to other things, electronics is maybe the last of my hobbies. Video games/Anime/Sci fantasy shows/comics to fuel creative writing and drawing(as long as my drawing tablet works) are my primary hobbies, building random things like a head rest for my computer chair out of a foam pillow and 1/2 inch pvc pipe. Then there's electronics which I've always had an interest in just the ohms and amps and resistance kinda went over my head I just more comprehend the basic flow of electricity.
