I'm looking into circuit design and simulation ... for the sub-novice
and lazy person.
I've had one electronic technician class circa 1978, one circuits class
circa 1982 and almost no experience in the field.
Now I'm interested in playing around with some circuits I've run across
for amateur (HAM) radio fun. Building is fine but understanding how
they work and what might happen if they are enhanced/modified is my goal.
I've seen several posts on this list from people that probably know
which end of the iron is hot. So I'm hoping for some suggestions on
software for the causal user.
Before I put in a pile of time installing and trying each I'm asking
for experiences here.
What I'm looking/hoping for is a GUI based; drop parts in connect
them then run a simulator to see what is happening. I have ng-Spice
installed but I still need to chose a GUI front end.
For those that might still be interested I have two circuits for doing
MCW (Modulated CW). One is so old the text on the sheet and components
in the circuit is done with a typewriter. :-) The other uses a 555
timer and actually has photos of the build process.
Despite my interest in how they work we will probably still build them
as projects so Technicians and above can use their HT radios to practice
Code locally.
And that went places most probably aren't interested in but makes me
feel better about asking. :-)
TIA,
Rod
