gEDA-user: Error message when creating a SUBCKT
Hi, I'm creating a SUBCKT to simulate a 74191 counter. I use the schema provided in the datasheet and in this schema, there is an AND ic whith 5 entries. Because the IC doesn't exist in geda library, I create it. But when I want to generate the netlist file (.cir) to link the circuit and the symbol gnetlist generate some errors. I've activated debug mode but the given information is not very useful.

gEDA-user: ngspice subckt problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, (this is actually a ngspice posting, so maybe it's off-topic?) I'm just trying to use my spice model in ngspice. LTspice/SwitcherCad from Linear Technology runs it like a charm. The .cir file was created from my gschem schematics file by running gnetlist -g spice-sdb -o triode2.cir triode2.sch. getnetlist -g drc2 runs without any error message in the DRC file. It only prints some warnings: NOTE: Found pins without the 'pintype' attribute: X102:1 X102:2 X101:1 X102:3 X101:3 X101:2 But I don't believe that these have something to do with my problem.

Re: gEDA-user: best ways to do SMT assembly
I have solder paste in a syringe. Dab a bit of paste on every pad, place parts, heat it up on a hotplate. Works like a charm, but you have to manually solder the other side's SMTs. Even then, I dab paste, place part, hold part down with something and touch both ends with the iron to melt the paste. For larger boards, I usually make a stencil for the paste and put it on that way. It's not much more accurate, but it's a lot faster. For bridges, just use a bit of copper braid to remove it. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Re: gEDA-user: ngspice subckt problems
OK, I'm not that familiar with the Spice subcircuit syntax. Actually I considered Spice as some sort of black-box. If you want to successfully use ngspice, you're best off reading up on SPICE syntax and usage. It's not a black box yet, and while manual intervention is not always necessary, it still has enough problems that if you don't know about SPICE, then you'll probably be lost. Or do I need some developer version, as the one I used is about 3 years old? Perhaps. The developer version has lots of good stuff in it. The project should really release a new tarball. Alternately, why don't you grab the latest Gnucap? Al (the main developer) updates the release tarball quite regularly.

If I run ngspice I get some error messages: Too few parameters for subcircuit type 12at7 (instance: x102) Too few parameters for subcircuit type 12at7 (instance: x101) One of the problems with Spice format simulators is that they are all different. It all goes back to Berkeley Spice-2 -- then deviates from there. Every derivative of Spice has developed in its own way. One adds a feature, and another adds the feature too, but a little different. Every new feature makes some nuance that used to work not work. Keep this up for 30 years . The makers of commercial simulators can afford to hire a bunch of programmers to chase and clone the competition's new features. The free ones don't have the resources for this, unless users step in. What you have is a file written with a bunch of those proprietary extensions. At a glance I see ... -- the semicolon -- .param statement -- passing parameters to a subckt -- the syntax for defining the default subckt parameters -- addition of models -- the existance of behavioral expressions -- syntax differences for the behavioral expressions So, fix one, you still have a dozen to go. This is one of the reasons the experts are pushing for a change away from the Spice format. Still, we have lots of legacy code. If you want to use Gnucap, I will help you make it work. It will help me, by having a set of real files that somebody is using. The background of why I now want to use ngspice is that I want to play with the parameters a little bit to get out the maximum possible output voltage swing. (This circuit is intended for scope tube deflection.) = Lots of simulation runs. So one needs some sort of scriptable spice environment, for example a UNIX command line program :) That's another place where they are all different. NGspice doesn't offer much in this regard. Gnucap offers much more in being scriptable and ability to play with parameters. Gnucap lets you make arbitrary changes to the circuit interactively, so doing a bunch of what-if's is actually very easy. It also will give you a lot more info about your circuit, but only if you ask. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
