[sdiy] Circuit Simulators

[Richie Burnett]

I use LTspice too. As Tom says the user interface takes a bit of getting used to, but it's definitely worth the effort.

You can also output waveforms to RIFF WAV files, which is cool for audio applications because you can play the WAV file and actually listen to the result without having had to build anything!

There's lots of tutorials online.

-Richie,
