Schematics & Spice

[Olly]

Yep, this works exactly the same, but now the output is ground-referenced:

Hi Carl, what program are you using for simulation? It seems a bit prettier than LtSpice.

Schematics are done in Easy-PC (NumberOne.com). They used to sell Easy-Spice, which was a version of SIMetrix Spice, but it's been discontinued. I am actually in the process of switching to KiCad and LTSpice.

Hi Carl,

I use DipTrace. It’s a very good program, but I’m quite disappointed with the software developer. Last year, I sent them a six-page A4 document containing bug reports and suggestions for simple productivity improvements. But guess what happened: no reply, no follow-up questions regarding my list, and even three software revisions later, nothing from that list has been implemented. Some of the bugs still haven't been fixed.
While I do intend to finish my current projects in DipTrace, I also want to switch to KiCad. I can see that work on improvements is constantly ongoing there.

Thanks Carl.

KiCad has come a long way and is now on par with a lot of "professional" level packages. What I really like about it is that it doesn't contain a lot of over complicated bloat like 'Altium' for instance.

Cheers...

I've used several different ECAD packages, including Easy-PC and DipTrace.
Now I exclusively use KiCad, and LTSpice for simulation. Not only is KiCad FOC, but it doesn't have any design size limitations and runs in Linux, unlike DipTrace.

Ah, but you see, Linux is only for those that realize its elegant efficiency and pinpoint precision vs the bloat and over complication of the Windows juggernaut....

Inexperienced young man, let me teach you a useful life lesson!
I am known in close circles as a great admirer of female virtues!
Whenever I hear comments like:
"I prefer brunettes ... I prefer blondes ... I prefer dark skin ... I prefer skinny ... I prefer elegantly plump ... I prefer athletically built..."
and so on;
right from the start it becomes clear to me that the one who "prefer ..." is actually not a real lover of women and that he is a latent fan of the same gender (To put it politely...)! Mmmmmhaahahahahahahahahahahahah!
If you ask me; I DON'T CHOOSE; I PREFER THEM ALL!
I have 10-15 laptops and 4-5 desktops in my house and about 10 current smartphones, with every possible current OS!
And I use ALL of them, as needed and according to the task that is currently on the table!
