I hear people talking about using circuit simulators, and I thought that being able to virtually mess around with components on a computer rather then real ones could save me some time and headaches.
So I downloaded this MacSpice thing and I can't figure out what the hell it is supposed to do? It just acts like an old Apple IIe where you have to type stuff in, etc.
How are you supposed to build a circuit out of words?
I don't get this. I was thinking more of a CAD thing where I would build a virtual power supply and I would plug in the values of the components and it would give me the voltage...
There was no read me with the thing that I could find. Do I need some sort of EE to use this thing?
Sorry for the super newbie post, but I have no idea what I just downloaded.
