Possibility to add labels/names

Anonymous — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 23:31:16 -0000

Hello everyone,

I think that ktechlab is a excelent piece of software, really ! The only problem I found is that I cannot add a label/name to my components like MultiSim for example.

And I think something light, even if it is manual (like a label component so we can drag and drop and write on it) would be awesome.

Thanks in Advance,
And sorry for my horrible english

Save Circuits as Components

Anonymous — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 06:35:50 -0000

It would be nice to have the ability to create a circuit with arbitrary named Inputs/Outputs. You could then save this circuit as a component to be imported. This would allow the design of arbitrarily-complex circuits, such as 32-bit adders, to be implemented in larger designs without making the designs impossible to maintain.

Forward voltage drop for LEDs

heinzi — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 16:24:17 -0000

In KTechLab all LEDs in a circuit have a forward voltage drop around 0.7 V. So they have the same behaviour as standard diodes.
But most LEDs available have a forward voltage drop around 1.5 to 2 V. So the measuring results differ from the results KTechLab presents.
Can you change the forward voltage drop of LEDs to the correct value or - even better - make it adjustable?

input/output to/from files

Anonymous — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:07:18 -0000

Many CLI applications take data from standard input and pass it to standard output. A way to connect such applications to ktechlab simulation would be useful.

New components are needed, that can take data from a file (for example..), and present it as digital (possibly analog) signal.
Same for output.

Needs some more parts

This program is excellent, however, it could be improved by adding transformers and voltage regulators.

Parts list

Just another idea, probably not very original. It would be nice to have KTechlab generate a parts list from a circuit diagram. A simple text file for printing or importing in a spreadsheet would be sufficient. Thank you.

More components, perhaps an easier way to add them

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:23:15 -0000

I began using KTechlab to teach myself electronics. It is my goal eventually to be able to design my own devices like audio amplifiers. It would be nice to have components like vacuum tubes (diodes, triodes, tetrodes, ...), loudspeakers, microphones et cetera.

Although I am not much of a programmer I looked at the source code anyway. It looks like each component is in its own .cpp and .h files, and these need to be compiled into the program. It would be nice if components could be specified and added more dynamically, perhaps in a text or XML format. Just dreaming a bit, there could even be a simple graphical component editor of sorts.

Thank you and good luck.
