Re: [Kicad-developers] Spice simulation on windows.
I have some additional information that may prove useful: 1) Using relative paths in the spinit file does not work on windows. 2) Placing a spinit file in the path where the ngspice and libngspice binaries reside works with no need to set any environment variables. Option 2 could be used by the installer. The installer itself would have to create the spinit file by substituting the install path for the path of the .cm files. I'm not sure if this would work on osx. Maybe one of our osx devs could test this. If it does, than that would resolve the simulation init issues. I've attached a simple circuit that demonstrates the issue. When the .cm files are not located, the simulation will run with the following warnings and cause the output of the op-amp to be an impossibly high 260V: Error on line 0 : a$poly$e.xu1.eos %vd [ xu1.53 xu1.98 ] %vd ( xu1.3 net-_u1-pad1_ ) a$poly$e.xu1.eos MIF-ERROR - unable to find definition of model a$poly$e.xu1.eos Warning: Model issue on line 0 : .model a$poly$e.xu1.eos spice2poly coef = [ 1.7e-3 1 ] ...

Re: [Kicad-developers] Spice simulation on windows.
Hi Maciej In the latest nightlies they are now stored in lib/ngspice/ I guess that should equate to a relative path to the executables to ../lib/ngspice/*.cm, given that the exe's are in the bin folder on the same level as lib. So feel free to submit your fix. Also, are there any demos that make use of those cm libs such that it can be tested?

I did not found it in CMakeLists.txt. However it is in a .make autogenerated file.

Re: [Kicad-developers] PATCH: To facilitate easier Via Curtain/Filling
Sorry for Gravedigging. Maybe some heretic (and mostlikely stupid) questions but: why is there even an automatic relabeling implement? Would not it be much more convenient to have it as seperate tool instead of a mandatory step (like the cleaning up)? Further more it seems like /RecalculateAllTracksNetcode /recognize the legacy version of zones (SEGZONE) correctly as SEGZONE is a TRACK while the newer ZONE_CONTAINER is "only" a BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM . If one stick to the automatic relabeling: Would not it be a bit more logical to consider all BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM instead of only TRACKS? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
