KiCad Tutorial - How to simulate circuits in KiCad for beginners

[@johnbyrne9900]

Very Useful. You did a very good good job of explaining this. Saved me a lot of time trying to figure this out on my own!

[@aerofart]

Thanks for a good beginner video that gets straight to the point and describes certain aspects of the app that others fail to mention.

[@timfake6042]

KiCAD uses ngspice under the hood for simulation. Other than that, great tutorial.

[@hardikparmar875]

finally, found what I was looking for !!!!

[@PlumPot]

Glad you found it helpful. Let us know if there are any other tutorials you will like.

[@nandinikose1414]

Wow.... Thanks for making video step by step simulation process....it's very helpful for me...... . Can u make the video of pi and si simulation please

[@shreyasvedant1]

Now i have realized why my simulation was not working in kicad, because some component were not supported by spice.. Thanks for this valuable tutorial🙏🙏🙏

[@PlumPot]

Yes, your components needs some characteristics :) Glad it is working now

can't seem to find a resistor for simulation. Anyone where i can get it in from.

[@TB-jl9fr]

Just type in Resistor within the parts finder. The standard "R" is already fine for using in simulation.

Nice THUMBNAIL!

[@PlumPot]

Haha thanks!😂

[@malehakim248]

I can't seem to get the pspice library loaded in my components library. I only have Simulation_SPICE. Anyone who know how i can get past this?

5:50 Was that a burp in the background? 😄

[@TheUtuber999]

Thanks for this tutorial. It was very helpful. I was wondering though - is it possible to simulate the circuit in this video with an LED instead of a regular diode and if so, how would someone do that? I would expect to see a drop of perhaps 2.2 Volts (for a red LED) instead of 0.7 Volts. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Where is part 2?

[@InTheMindOfficial]

Why don't I have a spice resistor? FFS this program gives me a headache

I have a circuit problem, but I am not sure if the cure is better than the problem I am trying to fix. I have a metal detector the runs off of (6 pack) and (8 pack) AA batteries. They are connected to 2 connectors that share a common ground.. (+12v)---(GND)---(-9v) I was wondering if I am losing power efficiency if I made a (2 terminal battery pack) from LiPos and converted it to the voltages the circuit needs using a split phase output buck-boost converter. I don't know what the current requirements are, but I know it is more that the current output(14ma) of split phase buck-boost converters I found on ebay. The alternative to a split phase converter is two buck-boost converters with isolated outputs. Any advice?

I'm getting in simulator when add a diode (minute 14): No compatibility mode selected! warning, can’t find model diode Circuit: KiCad schematic Error on line 4 : d1 net-_d1-pad1_ 0 diode Unable to find definition of model diode Background thread stopped with timeout = 0 Error: circuit not parsed.

[@juggler1977]

I got exactly the same error after trying to simulate with a diode. Everything else worked up to that point.

[@angelosnegkas]

Me too!

[@fparisi]

in 7.0 I haven't any pspice lib
