Debian Edu Electronics packages

A package to reorganize menu branches in order to get a structure easy to use for teachers and students.

Gnucap is a general purpose circuit simulator. It performs nonlinear dc and transient analyses, Fourier analysis, and ac analysis linearized at an operating point. It is fully interactive and command driven. It can also be run in batch mode or as a server.

This package contains a main executable and gnucap-modelgen.

Gpsim is a full-featured software simulator for Microchip PIC microcontrollers.

Gpsim has been designed to be as accurate as possible. Accuracy includes the entire PIC - from the core to the I/O pins and including ALL of the internal peripherals. Thus it's possible to create stimuli and tie them to the I/O pins and test the PIC the same PIC the same way you would in the real world.

Gpsim has been designed to be as fast as possible. Real time simulation speeds of 20Mhz PICs are possible.

Gpsim has been designed to be as useful as possible. The standard simulation paradigm including breakpoints, single stepping, disassembling, memory inspect & change, have been implemented. In addition, gpsim supports many debugging features that are only available with in-circuit emulators. For example, a continuous trace buffer tracks every action of the simulator. Also, it's possible to set read and write break points on values (e.g. break if a specific value is read from or written to a register).

Oregano is a GNOME application for schematic capture and printing of electronic circuits. It can simulate the circuits using Gnucap, ng-spice or Berkeley spice.

Xoscope is a oscilloscope using input from a sound card or EsounD server and/or a COMEDI hardware. Includes 8 signal displays, variable time scale, math, memory, measurements, and file save/load.

Electric is a sophisticated electrical CAD system that can handle many forms of circuit design, including custom IC layout (ASICs), schematic drawing, hardware description language specifications, and electro-mechanical hybrid layout.

Fritzing is an open source project designed to help one transition from a prototype to a finished project. Aimed at users who want to produce or document circuits and experiments, one starts by building a physical prototype, then recreating it with Fritzing’s graphical editor. From there one can generate a schematic, PCB artwork, and PCB production files.

gtkwave is a viewer for VCD (Value Change Dump) files which are usually created by digital circuit simulators. (These files have no connection to video CDs!)

Kicad is a suite of programs for the creation of printed circuit boards. It includes a schematic editor, a PCB layout tool, support tools and a 3D viewer to display a finished & fully populated PCB.

Kicad is made up of 5 main components:

• kicad - project manager
• eeschema - schematic editor
• pcbnew - PCB editor
• gerbview - GERBER viewer
• cvpcb - footprint selector for components

Libraries:

• Both eeschema and pcbnew have library managers and editors for their components and footprints
• You can easily create, edit, delete and exchange library items
• Documentation files can be associated with components, footprints and key words, allowing a fast search by function
• Very large libraries are available for schematic components and footprints
• Most components have corresponding 3D models

xcircuit is a generic drawing program tailored for making circuit diagrams.

The graphical interface attempts to maintain consistency between X11 window rendering and the pure PostScript output.

xcircuit is mouse, menu and keyboard driven. The emphasis is on single character macros.
