[kicad-users] Switch-Level and Analog Simulation

[kaskalis]

Hello all,

As a new member in the kicad society, I'd like to congratulate
everyone for a job well done.

I would like to use kicad as a teaching tool of digital systems,
computer architecture and embedded systems design.

I'd like to ask if there is a way (or plans maybe) for a switch level
simulator and a classic SPICE-type simulator.

I know that kicad exports netlists, but I'm kind of seduced
by the Electric VLSI Design System (http://www.staticfreesoft.com/)
and the way it integrates IRSIM and SPICE.

Is there a way to use the simulation parts from Electric into kicad?
Or is there an easy way to do switch-level simulation and
SPICE simulation, without too much netlist editing?

Thank you in advance for any info provided.

Regards,
Theodore Kaskalis

[kicad-users] kicad installation

Are there installation instructions available now when kicad was
divided on three independent parts. How can install the libraries and
help documents. Where should I copy them?

[kicad-users] Help with Schematic Editor

[loicalset]

I have a question about the schematic editor that I have not been able
to figure out:

1. When working in Schematic Editor, under the Cvpcb  Preferences 
Configuration tab: I add my library (myparts.mod), save the config
under myproject.pro. Then I close Cvpcb and open it up again... it
forgets that I had added and saved that module so I have to do this
everytime I update the schematic. 

I don't understand why I have to keep adding my module/library every
step of the program - is there a place to add it globally to the
project? THanks,

C
 

[kicad-users] Component with differnet parts ???

[sroux93]

Someone can explain to me what are component with different parts
(eeschema program  -- when you create a new component from a existing
one, in the properties, you can select number of parts... but but
means this function ???)

I am french if you want to answer in french. And i read english

Thanks

Hi,

using a quad nand 74hc00 per ex., you have one component with 
4 gates. Adding an 74hc00, you always get the first gate (pins 1,
2  3). So, you need to select which unit you want to use 
(Edite Composant = Unite = Unit 1, 2, 3 or 4).

When you create a new component, you have to specify the number 
of parts or units. Default is 1.

You can also use this feature to split a big component. 
You can see here a xc2v3000 fpga (one part) and a xc2v3000 with 
9 parts :
