LTSpice Tutorial - EP1 Getting started

[@sonyolcu23]

It's a very logical upgrade from 4 to 17.

[@farfisa5]

Excellent tutorial series. The laid back “Alrighty! This how we do it. Do dee doo,” attitude is refreshing.

[@FesZElectronics]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@unlokia]

FAR more human and personable than these stiff, copycat "YooToobaz" who merely parrot on what others parroted to them!

[@cliveradvan3414]

The fast pace kept me engaged and i particularly liked the lack of pointless information to distract me. Well done.

[@lalu225]

This is an excellent tutorial and a fantastic introduction for a beginner in electronics. Much faster to learn than spending time changing around components and measuring on a breadbord. Once understanding the circuit on LTSpice you have a clearer idea about what you should expect when building the circuit and measuring on a breadbord

[@astrobullivant5908]

No, this tutorial has a ton of gaps for people used to CircuitLab or other circuit simulation software. First of all, it doesn't explain how to go back to the select tool once you select a component. It doesn't explain how to get the default cursor. It doesn't explain how to make components appear smaller in the schematic.

[@cecilkorik]

Best LTspice tutorial for novices trying to learn who don't (yet) understand all the complex terminology and just want to poke some probes around on a virtual circuit with some simplified components. Thank you so much!

[@FesZElectronics]

Hello Cecilkorik! I would also like to recommend Ep 5 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6jJloCgmLJnsLs ) in which I highlight all the stock circuits LTspice comes with. This is a good way of trying out the probing possibilities of the program on more complex circuits.

[@MFC_works]

It is an eye-opening video for those starting simulations in LTspice. Thank you!👍🙏

[@xboydubose7254]

"By people who know far more about math and electronics than you do", which means everyone else

[@rationalthinker9612]

I think I am going to do all of your tutorials before I step into my Circuits Lab at school. This will probably save me a ton of time instead of just fucking around on the software according to the Lab experiment instructions or waiting for an inept TA to come and attempt an explanation. Thanks for this video bro!!

[@AndrewEslick]

My lab TA linked this video for us to learn how to use LTSPICE. You've made it.

[@evanpasero1846]

This is an exemplary LTspice tutorial, the best I've seen. Thank you for putting this together!

[@digitorus360]

I like this tutorial. It goes at a good, fast pace, and the narrator has a sense of humor. It also shows some features not so obvious, as in rescaling the simulation output, renaming nets, label colors. Worth watching if you are new the LTSpice with a simple voltage-divider example.

[@Mayank-mf7xr]

Great introduction to LTSPICE. I've been a basic user for a few years. Some tops tips here.

[@yamen1999]

Thank u for the video, my teacher didn't explain us anything about how to use the program and he made us to do a project. Now i have an idea about how and what to do.

[@claude77573]

Just another comment: As described at 11:17, When setting the simulation parameter to Start external DC supply voltages at 0V, any data displayed in an .op Data label goes to zero. Or if you hover a cursor over a net, the display values in the lower left of the screen go to zero.

[@davidhunt4291]

First of all, SPICE was created by University of California Berkeley. All the commercial versions are variants of Spice 3F5 I know this because I have an official copy including SOURCE CODE. Second of all the spice schematic capture program is one of the worst so while there are times the Spice schematic program is important (such as developing models) great effort should be expended to use a commercial schematic program that can accommodate spice, such as PCB Artist. Having said that, this double speed tutorial is pretty good and better than any I experienced (including classroom - especially classroom) presentations. Before I degreed out. I worked as a technician and sometimes used Spice as a debugging tool. at first it pi**ed off the managers - but I solved problems they couldn't by any other means, usually in the time a simple problem could be debugged. After the degree those managers worked for me, but there was no other techs willing to learn spice. So - Kudos to FesZ Electronics for a good presentation with one of the best simulators available to engineers AND TECHNICIANS.

[@ralphacosta4726]

Good introduction. At times it was a bit fast as i tried to follow where the cursor was to see what was selected, but by jumping back and restarting a bunch of times, i pretty much got everything. Especially difficult to know whether the right or left mouse button was being used for various actions. Understanding Label Net took several tries and another video to see how the label got picked up on the simulation; finally got the order of things correct. Using blue for the name on a black background was really difficult to read. But enough was covered to allow me to use LTSpice. Thanks for all your work in producing this.

[@FesZElectronics]

This is my very first tutorial on the subject... I did improve a bit in the mean time; if you are still interested in the program, hope you like the newer videos better.

[@giricyber-ps8420]

Mate, I watched quite a few of your videos. You explained to me few things I never understood, although I watched other's videos. You are better than Dave Jones and on the same level as w2aew. Your English is brilliant, you don't make any mistakes. It's time you start doing product reviews, because you're never going to make any money with these tutorials. Just approach local shop in Romania and show them your channel. Or even call German company.

[@FesZElectronics]

Thank you for the kind words! I guess the only downside to making sponsored reviews is that it has to be a "good review" - no one will pay you to talk about the disadvantages and shortcoming of their product. For the moment though its not about making money, but rather making good content and I would like to keep it that way. I might do reviews in the future, but my main focus is just making interesting videos rather than what's profitable.

[@rachelgeller5345]

@@FesZElectronics wow....you are a gem....keep up your good work...your video helped me a lot.

[@claude77573]

Great video! A lot of info packed into a short time. To be sure I got the most out of this, I followed along in LTSpice. Some other quick keys for adding components (whose abbreviation is not in the edit menu) are V (for independent voltage source) and G (for ground). Also, the calculation for power at 9:12 (V(N001,Output)*I(R1)) is almost impossible to see, as the dark blue doesn't provide much contrast against a black background.

[@SHIVAKUMAR-eh1wc]

Actually I have two dc voltages (12vdc n 5vdc) with 4A. Willing to see higher voltage level in the output side, Using any one of discrete components . Here I have to generate either 12Vdc@2A r 5V DC@2A using Lt spice simulation Generally it is application for selection of one higher voltage level from two different voltage levels when we plug in both 12v & 5v connector But current rating is different at input and output stage

[@TatharNuar]

11:35 Is this ramp-up because of the timestep? I'd expect something more instantaneous otherwise.

[@FesZElectronics]

Usually when a rise-time is not clearly defined, the simulator will just get a value; I think it is related to the timestep. But anyway if you want control over this parameter, the supply can be defined as a pulse source.

[@harinachiappansubramanian9206]

Hi, Why is it that the capacitor curve only shows up when we ramp up voltages from 0? I dont understand why it cant do the same when just have a voltage supply of 10.

[@incxxxx]

Could anybody explain me, why the current have different signs in LTspice for I(R1) and I(R2) (two resistance are in series so the current is the same), if you put one of them closer to voltage source ??? What is the sense of it ???

[@FesZElectronics]

When measuring voltages its easy, the reference is either ground, or a different net but for current there is no reference direction... When you are performing a current measurement by going over the measured component or pin, you get the "current probe" symbol appearing. Apart from this symbol you also get a red arrow which will indicate the reference current direction - by reference to this the current is either positive or negative. In my case this arrow always points down on vertical components, and for horizontal components its either left if I go over the component or right if I measure the current trough a net (by pressing alt and going over the net). I usually just add a "-" to the displayed waveform in case I want the inverted current, I am not sure if there is any other way to invert the reference current.

[@incxxxx]

@@FesZElectronics Thanks!

[@calypsocostelo2482]

Watch this video from Dave Jones. He explains what to do so the current will appear with positiv sign. For short, you have to rotate the resistor with 180 degree. In the real world, you can put the resistor any way you want, but not in the simulator. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHaqhWiaitWXqMU Jump at time 11.00 minute.

[@g00glian0]

What key are you hitting to release the resistor, or whatever component one is currently using? I put down a resistor and then want to 'let go' of the resistor tool. How??? Just found it, 'Right click!'

[@FesZElectronics]

The common keys that I use are the following: - "Esc" - when in doubt press escape. This is what I used to put down the current component - Ctrl+R - rotate components during placement After simulation - Alt - plot power - Ctrl + LeftClick on plotted value - to show average power Maybe some others also but I'm not really aware, I do it by reflex already.. But all Keys can be found under the following path: Tools>Control Panel>Drafting Options tab > Hot Keys and here you can also edit them. Like maybe you want Undo to be "Ctrl+z" instead of F9, or I for example set Draw wire mode to "Ctrl+W". You can set up the program however you want.
