Re: Uploading a tube amplifier netlist on Files section

 

It turns out you cannot set the file size of images . The board also supports databases which can include photos the size of which can be limited but I am not sure if that would be any use.

Cheers

Re: Uploading a tube amplifier netlist on Files section

 

OK, it turns out that this feature is not turned on for regular users. It took a while to trawl through the admin user interface to find the right setting but I think it should now allow all members to upload files and create directories. We only have 1G of space in the files section so for the moment I have disabled uploading pictures.

Let me know if you can now upload files.

Cheers

Ian

Maybe the group owner(s) can comment, but it's possible this group is on the free tier, and the file upload feature is now disabled. Other groups you may be familiar, with pay a subscription.

I'm using ngspice to run a netlist from LTspice. In order to upload the full/expanded netlist (including all .model and .subckt referenced) there is a way to export it from ngspice command line ?

12AU7 tube amplifier simulation

 
Edited

Hello,
I'm using ngspice to simulate a tube amplifier based on 12AU7 triode. Attached you can find a zipped folder with the main .cir file and the referenced libraries.
?
Coming from LTspice, I can see there is some issue when running transient analysis using ngspice. Namely the Initial Transient solution (ITS) step from .tran 10n 10m analysis picks a DC operating point solution quite different than LTspice (the same as the .op analysis).
?
ITS/DC operating point looks a bit weird, indeed the amplifier's output signal V(out1) isn't good at all.
?
Can you help me in understanding why ? Thanks.
?
Carlo.

Re: Uploading a tube amplifier netlist on Files section

 

Normally I just use email to interact with the list, and then I can simply attach files to my email. However, for this message I've gone to the website. The only way I can see of adding a file is by creating a message, and then clicking on the paperclip icon on the toolbar. I've just done that, to see if it works. Hopefully you'll be able to see the file I've attached.


Uploading a tube amplifier netlist on Files section

Hello,
I came from LTspice background and now I'm starting using ngspice to simulate some circuit.

I'd like to upload the netlist of a tube amplifier I'm working on. On Files section, however, I can't see the Upload button.
?
Can you help me ? Thanks.

Of course, the solution is not modify the library itself (no .LIB <libname> .ENDL within it) but use "set ngbehavior=lt" command into .spiceinit configuration file for ngspice.

From ngspice-44 manual section 2.10:
The .LIB statement allows including library descriptions into the input file. Inside the *.lib
file a library libname will be selected. The statements of each library inside the *.lib file are
enclosed in .LIB libname <...> .ENDL statements.
From above I believe the "markers" are .LIB and .ENDL statements within the library file itself. I'll do a test using them within a my library.

Try opening a library file in a text editor (but be careful with Notepad - it sometimes plays tricks) and look through it. I think you will see plainly the section markers.

From ngspice manual, there are two ways to include .models or .subckt, namely using .include vs .lib directive.
?
.include <filename> literally includes the content of <filename> where the directive is located (e.g. within a .cir netlist). It works, let's say, just like the #include pre-processing directive in C language.
?
.lib instead actually includes only parts from library referenced in the file where the .lib directive is. The manual says that. lib directive has the following format: .lib <filename> libname. The latter should be the name of a "section" within the <filename> library file.

If the above is correct, what are the "markers" of sections within the library files ?

Re: KiCad 9.0 and my 6-hour project video on Youtube #tutorial

 

I haven't had time to work on KiCad projects in a while.? It has changed so much in the meantime.? I was hoping for a video, or set of videos, that would show the updated workings of KiCad.? Thanks much for this.? Oh, if something should happen to your copy, I'll have a copy here.? Sometimes youtube spits and sputters so I just download and watch local.? Can't be internet since I have a fiber connection.?

Thanks again.?

KiCad 9.0 and my 6-hour project video on Youtube #tutorial

 

Hi all,
?
KiCad 9.0 is finally here, and to mark the occasion I have published a 6-hour (!!!) video on Youtube.?
?
In this video, I show the complete process of how I designed a 4-layer PCB with a variety of interesting components, like an ESP32 C3, USB C, battery controller, flash memory, etc.?
?
I used the release candidates of KiCad 9 during January, mostly RC1 and RC2.
?
My objective was to experience KiCad 9 in a realistic non-trivial project and get first-hand experience of the productivity gains that we can expect from the latest refinements in the UI and several new features (the zone manager is my favourite).
?
I hope you will enjoy this video.
?
It's a big one, and an experiment I wanted to do for a long time to determine if people on Youtube are interested in this kind of content.
?
?
I appreciate your feedback.
?
Enjoy!
?
Peter
