Looks great! Would you have a recommendation for intro materials to help me learn the basics of electronics using CircuitLab? I have a working understanding of signal processing but building an actual circuit without electrocuting myself, not setting my Raspberry Pi on fire, or selecting the right set of components for the simplest DIY project based on spec sheets are a mystery to me.

  Not sure if it’s a fit for what you’re looking for, but maybe https://ultimateelectronicsbook.com/ https://ultimateelectronicsbook.com/ (maybe more theoretical than practical). I’ve heard good things about “Practical Electronics for Inventors” but haven’t gone through it myself.

> Diode Cascade Voltage Multiplier A favorite of mine and one of the most common ways to generate a pretty high voltage DC. The full wave version pairs well with a center tapped secondary of a resonant transformer.
