How good is LT Spice with Eagle?

matelot

I am just discovering Eagle and see a box on the schematic page for LT Spice. Is it fairly straight forward to run the two together and would people recommend using both together?

thanks.

    Yes, sorry I have that now.

     

    Before I go any further, I have only seen simulations of oscilloscope traces showing circuits running, is it possible to add things such as switches and be able to switch them on screen and see the effects?

    You can simulate switches, but it's not interactive. You can setup a

    delay for the switch to flip and then observe how the circuit works.

     

    I have set up my directories and the program sees lt-supply.lbr. It also shows all the libraries in the control panel  libraries/ltspice.

    I was able to load the diagram he loaded.

    This is good, that means the bridge is working.

     

    I did watch though the rest of the video but it didn't help any more.

    After I got the libraries working I watched again from 17.15 right up to 19.15 where he says he has to open a library and goes to one he has made earlier

    , ltdemo.lbr. He goes to it and suddenly there is a library editor on the screen? How did he get there?

    One thing I have discovered, it looks as if I will be better to abandon all the diagrams I have made up to now and remake them with lt-spice components.

    I tried to export one of my designs and the first component it found it failed as not being lt-spice compatible.

     

    No, further on in the video you'll see how to make your parts compatible

    with LTSpice.

     

    I watched the rest of the video again hoping to find how to get to the library editor and reached 20.30.

     

    At 2030 he says he had to "go find a spice model, eagle contains no spice models so I had to go find one, in my case I used the one from TI which is this one right here"  ?

    Right where?

    He doesn’t explain where they are or how to find them,  I did a search of my computer and found no *.mod files. again I am stopped and can’t continue.

    Your computer doesn't contain model files. The model files have to be

    obtained from manufacturer websites. Look at the parts you want to use,

    visit the manufacturers website and search for " spice model".
