6/30/2023 0 Comments Macspice gui![]() ![]() Still, I do use the desktop when I cannot figure out how to fix the simulation and I need to grind on it repeatedly while I figure out how to make it un-broken. Fixing the simulation always provides the best speed-up. I have a 6 year old i7 MacBook Pro that's 2x slower than a fancy new i7 10700 Win10 desktop, and it's almost never that I notice any significant speed difference. ![]() It's not like a factor of 10, and honestly, unless your simulation is really a mess, it's not often that they grind that slowly. To the OP, I don't think Parallels will be able to provide a Windows VM on M1, and honestly, an M1 is only about 2x faster than a fast i7. Regardless, the tools are "what they are" and you can either get work done with them or not. What would be more ideal is some sort of ability to efficiently use one networked library, or even a remote directory. The models had to be on local disks for performance, and the same tedious "make a part" procedure had to be used for both platforms. The basic installation was tedious for both Mac and PC, and not fundamentally different for either platform. Does not inspire.Is it really much different between Mac and Windows? I have around 450 models that are on my Mac and also on a Windows 10 machine (both of which run LTspice XVII) that I had to install by hand onto each machine and sync by hand between the two. A lot of pages on the web site do not function. $25 if you use Douglas for PC boards, $495 to use with other manufacturers. The GUI is a little non-mac like as its obviously using non-native or cross platform library. ![]() Library of components seems very complete right down to the manufactures name and part number. ![]() Good description of the various options is located here. Light edition ($69) is limited to 100 x 80 mm board size, 2 board layers, and 1 schematic sheet. $315 for standard schematic capture to $820 for standard layout, schematic capture, and routing. $70 for LogicWorks (Released ), $200 for DesignWorks Pro (Released ). $79, free for designs less than 700 pins, last update, does not do schematic capture or simulation. Basic schematic $295, Everything $1395 Several other versions/price options. Schematics: Lite – free – about 150 pins, SE500 – $24.95 – about 450 pins. This post will be updated as I work through the options to find a schematic creation and board design software for the Mac. This post details my experience looking for schematic capture. Wikipedia lists a number of proprietary options for Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software that should work on a Mac. * Considered Audiophile, whatever that means. Simply a search bar where the name is typed and simple song finds the music on your hard drive and plays it. This post represents our quest for information and will be updated as new information is found. So far we’ve not found that magic combination. We also want seamless syncing with our Apple devices. Our recent music is coming from HDTracks so the HD formats are manditory. We are now listening to more 88.2/96 Khz files in various formats like FLAC (which iTunes does not handle). Ideally, this would include automatic switching between different formats, resolutions, and bit rates.Ĭurrently, iTunes converts everything to the bit rate set in “Audio MIDI Setup”. Why are we searching for an iTunes alternative? We want better quality in the audio stream and more control options during distribution throughout our house. We’ve been exploring software available for replacing iTunes. ![]()
