[sdiy] Circuit Simulators

[Tom Wiltshire]

I use LTspice pretty heavily. It’s also free. The interface is bizarre if you’re charitable, plain dreadful if you’re not, but it works well.

It’s great for plotting frequency responses, and I often use the parametric features too - so you can see what happens when you twiddle a pot.

Like David, these days I tend to go from simulator to strip board since I’m reasonably sure the thing is going to work, and any final changes or adjustments are done on a more-solid strip board prototype.
