I built the latest branch and sure enough it works great! Much respect. I haven't figured out how to attach vendor spice models to new components but I'm a total kicad noob so there you go.
Complete newbie to spice in general. I've installed the nightly, however I'm having trouble simulating a DC circuit. My netlist is as follows: .title KiCad schematic RR1 VEE VCC 300 .end I know the nodes shouldn't be labelled VEE and VCC, why does KiCAD export it like this? Also, what do I use as a DC voltage sweep source? Thanks in advance
I did not understand sentence at 1:03 about something something 'spice comment'. What does this mean? Apparently it is simple to type and it is ordinary.
I guess it is too late to answer but he said "I also specified the analysis type by simply typing spice command". It is very useful to take a look at subtitles (CC button) in such situations. Even auto-generated english subtitles are good nowadays.
Hello all ! I try to simulate the famous NE555, then I create a first layer internal discrete component using basic 2N3904 and 2N3906 transistor with spice model and on top hierarchy components for Astable configuration. Now I want to simulate the all circuit, but I don't know how to setup the ngspice script command into my design. Is there any body to help me on this ? I've the Kicad project available for more details. Any help would be appreciated. Regards. Vincent.
Having trouble seeing the signal, as the Y axis is like stuck at 1V and it doesn't auto-adjust by itself and neither does it let me do it manually. Edit: I found the "solution". You have to click 4 times the signal when using the "add signal" button. It's clearly a bug.
Just click play? Bullshit. I just spent several hours screwing around with Spice model files trying to find models for all the components in my schematic just to get the damn thing to run my schematic.
This is awesome. Still I wonder if there is a way to also deal with IBIS in the future. Some vendors don't provide spice models for their chips and it seams that it is on the rise. For example TI releases their chips with .ibs IBIS file for a model. Looked for spice, but no dice.
I really like how the schematic entry looks. Can we edit and add symbols?However, the plots look not nearly as good. Is it possible to customize them (e.g. color of background, line widths, fonts..?
very nice video... when i was downloading and setting up KiCad, for some reason the instructions included LTspice.. which i am starting to learn... so, this simulator is interesting...:)

I have the latest version of kicad installed but don't see a Simulator button in the tools menu. How do I install it?
So cool! Hope to see that Kicad's simulator will be equal level as SaberRD...

Awesome! The tune feature is great! I prefer it to ploting a range of possibilities!
thanks man that is still so helpful!

Gorgeous vid friend.... specially touching the simulation part.
Thanks ...!!
Eating Autodesk's lunch!
Why is it stating that no circuit loaded. How will i load one.
how to plot for example, RMS or power or any operation on signal such in LTSpice? thanks a lot
Which library contains the simulation sources?
Is this a fake video ? Nothing found for this simul on nightly release ....
Could you show what libraries were used for this ?

it would be great to integrate Modelica Language into KiCAD, or other way around ngspice into OpenModelica.
Awesome ... this is a feature I've waiting for
cool ! when this version will be available into Nightly Development Builds ?
forum.kicad.info/t/spice-and-kicad/3519
Yep, it is already present in the latest development build... I already used it ;)
Cool ! Where ?
How to add text in the schematic?
Just click play? Bullshit. I just spent several hours screwing around with Spice model files trying to find models for all the components in my schematic just to get the damn thing to run my schematic.
Is this already possible with simulink or xcos?

would it be possible to build custom spice models?
Where do you find the AC voltage source? I don't see this device in the default libraries ...
Just the normal "voltage source" model works, if you tell it to be AC.
S
It looks very nice. Where can I see source code?
Looks like the link is dead
How ong untill this gets to Debian? =)
you guys are awesome
When or is this integration already integrated in latest version of kicad ?
forum.kicad.info/t/spice-and-kicad/3519
That's so cool!
This is awsome

Good thinking. Are you two still helping out with the application design?
