Everyone complains about bad UX these days, but none of the examples I’ve seen compare to doing a simple transient simulation in #LTSpice.
Seriously? You need to place *some text* with a simulator command *somewhere* on the schematic?

Finally I got #LTSpice to model my #circuit characteristics in a way that mimicked real life! I think the biggest issue is my parameters originally assumed input voltage would be max-spec. Oops.

Now I've learned about a very important topic "AC Coupling". I'm kinda happy because I guessed the concept before I knew what it was (based on observed behavior).

Anyway, I've got a MUCH more intense circuit going and I'm feeling hopeful this time. Two-stage amplifier with AC-coupling!

@swansinflight Yeah, electronics can be pretty frustrating when things don't work. I've designed this circuit in a software simulator (#LTSpice) and it seems to work, but when it comes to the real world - 🤷‍♂️

Will definitely post audio clips, but this will likely be a looooong term project 😄

To those of you using #LTspice, I recommend setting the .raw and .log file directory to someplace other than where you store your normal project files - by default, it will put these there.

Depending on what you're simulating, these (particularly the .raw files) can get big. I've seen them as high as 2 GB for things at work. This is something to be careful of so you don't use unnecessary space on backups, or a synced or shared folder.

It's just in the Control Panel, under the Waveforms tab. I'm on Linux with Wine, and set it to the /tmp directory (mapped as Z:\tmp), but if you do this make sure you have enough space wherever that's mounted (possibly in RAM).

@cypnk #LTSpice might not be the prettiest or easiest to use, but it's always there when you need it.
