Re: Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'll be working on them.
BTW, here's what it looks like in real life (before I thought of modelling it in KiCad).? :)

Re: How do I get the KiCad FlatPak to install in Linux?
I understand your question. I think the basic concept is that for user convenience, flatpaks are meant to be easily installed from a central repository.? "flathub" is the main one, and it is not

Re: Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
I suggest you simply move to the most recent 8.x version of KiCad rather than try to continue using very old unsupported versions.

Re: Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
You'll need to associate a SPICE model with each of your active devices. This is done from the Properties menu for those schematic parts.

Re: How do I get the KiCad FlatPak to install in Linux?
Which Linux distribution are you using? I have never had any problems
installing Kicad on any Linux machine. I even have it on a Raspberry Pi
400. You don't have to use a flatpack.
As for why Kicad

Re: Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
The Holger version (from the Zip file) wouldn't open in 5.0.2, but it did open and run in 8.0.7 on Windows:
That pretty much matches the pure NGSPICE simulation I'd posted earlier.
Should the 5.0.2

Re: Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
I just tried to implement the Holger example ( https://forum.kicad.info/t/simulation-examples-for-kicad-eeschema-ngspice/34443/4 ) in the 5.0.2 version of KiCad:
It gave me these errors:

Re: Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
You have no Simulation GND in the 8.x version. Look under the Spice schematic parts and read the KiCad docs on simulation online.

Simulation Struggles with BJT Oscillator
I've been trying to simulate a simple oscillator using 2 BJT transistors in KiCad, and I'm having some trouble. I've tried it in both KiCad 5.0.2 and 8.0.7. I'm not sure what information to provide

Re: How do I get the KiCad FlatPak to install in Linux?
Thanks Ian. There's a whole lot of information at that site!
It led me to this:

It says this:

Re: How do I get the KiCad FlatPak to install in Linux?
Thanks for your help.
There must be something that I'm not understanding about the flatpak system. I am imagining a tarball or an ISO image or a JAR file or a DEB file. In those cases, the file just

Re: How do I get the KiCad FlatPak to install in Linux?
For any installed flatpak app you can create an image.? Start with an empty directory, then do:
flatpak create-usb /path/to/directory org.kicad.KiCad
That will create a hidden directory called

Hi,
There's no need to add a net label; the hierarchical pin name will

Re: Route track with error ?
Thank for the answers.
I solved it by deleting the switch footprint and adding a new one with
fewer connections (2).
The Rule Checker was free of errors.
