I entered a headphone tone control I'm building into Micro Cap and after a bit of fiddling around I sussed bits of it out and was able to display a sensible frequency response but to see the effect of the bass and treble controls I was manually changing the resistors that I have used to act as a pot and the graph made sense I had good bass and treble bumps where I should have ! but now I think I could do it with the sliders and It will be less of a pain! I think your right that the user interface is a little bit easier to use than TINA, thanks for these tutorials as I am new to circuit sim and a bit wet behind the ears regarding audio.......cheers.
Hello ! Thank you so very much for this video. I'm trying to build something with the 555 . and this helps BIG TIME !. i really apreciate you taking the time to make this videos !
Great video by the way. That program must've taken some very smart engineers to create. I can see why you're so happy it's free now. As a former software guy I can imagine how many lines of c/c++ and probably assembly language for the real-time analysis because of the output speed of the simulation required on the older pcs when it was created haha this probably runs on a pentium 2 with 16 megs of ram bahaha
Edwaurdo, I was thinking about snubber networks on psu design. There are not many tutorials online explaining them. I have a tenuous grasp on what they entail as far as picking the component values but I understand they are very important. I intend to download microchip this week as I like the information you give and the enthusiasm you have for each subject and using spice for learning fundamentals.
@@KissAnalog I think I get them now a bit. It's a resistor and diode for bak emf. But there's times you use a cap as well. There's always a diode for steering. It's a power stage thing that can be in a few different spots of the same overall circuit. That's my rudimentary understanding. Thanks though Eddie! I hope you're feeling a little better now, your voice belies your enthusiasm. I mean that as a compliment.
Hey hi so i am designing a circuit that uses the Ne555 timer. Now the problem is that in micro cap it assumes that VCC is 5V . Hence even if you make the voltage source connect to VCC pin say 15 Volt the simulator still thinks that VCC is 5 V. So the output only goes to 5V. Now when i open the 555.mac file in the library folder it shows the 555 timer macro with the inner details. There it mentions the following The 555 macro assumes that you are running it at 5V. If you have different power supplies in your schematic, add the following .param statements to your main schematic and change the values accordingly: .param V555_VDD=5V .param V555_VSS=0V These param statements change the analog/digital interface power for the mixed mode connections of the macro. How do i change the values and what is VDD and VSS . I am using micro cap 12
@@KissAnalog small as in not long enough to get good resolution, especially with the mouse if you're selecting a large range. Or at least I haven't found a way to make it bigger. The up/down buttons from the keyboard work though, so at least that's something.
