I was slightly disappointed by upverter, the simulation tool is basically useless, but it's the mot important feature in design. And the schematics is buggy (like when you rotate resistors).
I really hope they fix those basics before starting some new features (but I understand they are working on a API already). It's so much important for mac users like me who have no real design tools.
- michaelt 14y agoPersonally I've never found simulation tools all that useful. Too many components that can't be simulated, like microcontrollers and simple components that just don't have a model available. Perhaps you've been using better tools than me! What sort of tools do you use that make you think simulation is the most important feature?
- nraynaud 14y agoI'm starting again electronics, but I was trying to design the power stage of a BLDC motor. So it's mostly about MOSFET half-bridges and their driving. In this case you have to check you are using every components in their ratings. If you are designing a battery-operated system it's also good to know about power consumption of your output stage. And I totally agree about the components, if I add a connector for PCB routing purpose, I should be able to simulate anyways.
