> What is LTspice?
It's the best circuit simulator, whose creators did pretty much everything right with the following exceptions:
- using the wrong key for undo
- failing to understand that open-sourcing their baby would have made it 10 times better and 10 times more popular. But when you grow up in the hardware world, these concepts are very, very hard to understand.
- _fizz_buzz_ 7mo agoLTSpice is awesome, but the user interface is an acquired taste ...
- IshKebab 7mo agoSeems to be standard in the EDA world. Look up how you copy/paste in Eagle. Or what happens to wires when you move a component in a KiCAD schematic.
- willis936 7mo agoA few minor things: Last year LTSpice actually switched to sane hotkeys. Hell has frozen over and our hands rejoice. We should be careful with "best" without more qualifiers. It's a swiss army knife, but not very sharp. It's no replacement for an RF suite.
- Archit3ch 7mo ago> best circuit simulator QSPICE (made by the author of LTspice) claims to be 10x faster. Also, LTspice cannot do symbolic transformations, so that places an upper limit to its utility.
