Respected Sir/Madam,I am not able to run the Ki-Ng function in Free-EDA. When I click on the button an error pops up saying "No Module Named PyQT4." I went into the download folder and clicked on PyQT4 installation and installed it once again. But still the problem persists. Please help me with the same.
Respected Sir,I am currently running the software FREE-EDA on my Windows - 7 computer.I am trying to create a circuit consisting of an SR Flip Flop. Hence, I selected the Component labelled as ' D_SRFF '. I am unable to understand the connection to be made to the ' set ' and ' reset ' pins present on the component. ( Note - I am referring to the ' set ' and ' reset ' pins present on the bottom of the component as circled in the image below. ).
After entering source parameter values in netlist converter,dialogue box appears saying there's no model in your circuit. What to do?
Hi, i am trying to design a circuit astable multivibrator using IC LM555N.But i am not getting output square wave and charging discharging waveform of capacitor.I have designed the circuit with reference to the provided example it will be great if you upload detailed step by step video for this.
I am unable to open the Netlist Converter option in Oscad (now known as FreeEDA). After completing drawing the schematic and analysis inserter options, I cannot open the Ki-Ng option. I am running Oscad on Linux-Mint 17.1Please guide me through it.

Hello sir/mam, with reference to the solution provided on this link, i am trying to simulate a transformer model.But i am not able to get output step up waveform... Solution will be more clear/understandable if you can provide a ready example of DC regulated power supply.Thank you.
When I click on Ngspice, i am supposed to get a simulation window and a plot window but im getting only simulation window. Please help me with this.
Sir/MadamWhen running the RC project i m getting trouble at NetListConverter.it is not getting quit after pressing Enter as guided by tutorial after giving values as suggested by tutorial.RegardsTapan AroraLecturer (Computer Science)Govt. Polytechnic , Narender Nagar)Mob. 9997709333,9997672090
Dear sirs,I have tried to build SCR model and efforts are in right direction.But presently facing two problems which I need your guidance for correction.1. I need a CCCS(current controlled current source) which is available in sources spice library but is not working properly.The problem is when we apply a control current at the control terminals(through +C and -C) the controlled current shouflow, but in the circuitI have built it is not flowing.2. I need a voltage controlled switch with 4 isolated terminals 2 for control/gate and two for the controlled/output voltage.In Oscad there is a switch ANALOGSWITCH in analogxspice library but its a 3 terminal switch with 1 common terminal betweeninput and output which is not useful for SCR modelling. I even tried with controlled limiter in the same library but itsperformance also is not good(whatever we apply at U1-L1 is appearing at the output though expected output is that at in terminal).Waiting for Your suggestions/guidance and necessary actions on these issues.Thanking you sincerelyHarish BhatAsst.

Sir, Voltage controlled switch Sbreak in Pspice is used in one of the problems I am trying to solve using Oscad. In Sbreak there are four different terminals two of which are grounded and two other connected to circuit. When I ground one of the pins of component "Analog switch" I get an ERC error. How do I avoid this? And what do the three terminals in component "Analog switch" correspond to the four terminals of Sbreak?
Hi,There is a library named DEVICE and all the power electronic devices like SCR,THYRISTOR and TRANSFORMERS are available in that library. But none of these devices are working. Can you tell me what care I have to take to make these devices to work.RegardsHarish BhatMITE Moodabidri
Sir,I tried using tf v(5) v1 for doing transfer function analysis using the ngspice window. It said Doing analysis. But then the values were not printed. Should I use any other command to get the input, output resistance and other values?
Sir,I changed the parameters of the JFET using model builder but I do not get the output graph of current. Ngspice window says unrecognised model parameter. What could be the reason? Project file link : example 9.2
Can we define model parameters of resistor, inductor and capacitor in OSCAD and how to change the operating temperature?
How can I perform DC nested sweep analysis for a list of values?For example: DC sweep for V= 5V 20V 30V I = 50mA 100mA 150mA
Is it possible to find out di/dt and (d^2) i / (dt)^2 at some time instants . for ex. in network analysis there are problems for finding out current and voltage at t=0+ and also the 1st and 2nd derivative of current and voltage at t=0+.
I want to use a switch which can open and closed at some time instants.So that when it is closed it is almost like Zero resistance and when it isopenedit is having infinite resistance.
Sir,How do I perform DC nested sweep analysis? The problem that I'm trying to solve requires varying the collector-emitter voltage and the base current in steps in a BJT analysis circuit.

Whenever I try using IPRINT in my circuit as an ammeter,,I face the following problems:1. Issues regarding the grounding,sometimes it does not accept simple gnd/gnd with pwr flag and the troubleshooting becomes impossible.2. Even if the circuit passes ERC check,during simulation in the ngspice window,it shows some iteration where the message says gmin value reached and no proper results are obtained.Please help me with this as I am not able to proceed wit even simple RC circuits.
Hi,I learnt the procedure to use the oscad software. 1.Suppose I want to know the dc voltage/current across/through the resistor in the very simple circuits containing a mesh of resistors and a dc source.Do I use vplot or vprint and where do I see the required dc value of current/voltage?2.Is there any constant current source available in libraries?(query by Rahul Srivastava)
Sir, I noticed while going through the Oscad manual. My toolbar window doesn't have SMCSIM option in it. What could have gone wrong sir?(query by Swetha Kannan)
I have installed Kicad and python too but when I open Oscad I get the tool window but I do not get the schematic editor window but instead the following message. The environment variables are also set correctly and Kicad is installed right. "EESCHEMA IS NOT RECOGNISED AS AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL COMMAND, OPERABLE PROGRAM OR BATCH FILE" i saw a similar post here and tried re-installing kicad and its right. But when I try to follow a similar procedure for Ngspice, it did not open and I got a message saying "Can't open init file" . What could be the problem?
