I build things. Usually with electronics. Preferably open-source. Chief Fun Officer at @cge.dev

Oooh, interesting, this is the first I've heard about this QSPICE integration. Really looking forward to @kicad.org #KiCon in a couple weeks!

“QSPICE Modeling and Simulation Tools for More Effective PCB Layout”
Mike Engelhardt; Talk

QSPICE® is SPICE-based, freely available circuit simulation software that includes tools for making JFET, MOSFET and diode models. This presentation describes and documents the interprocess communication of the different QSPICE processes so they can replace QSPICE schematics with KiCAD schematics to add simulation, marching waveforms, and cross probing to KiCAD. This will enable KiCAD users to integrate QSPICE elements that complement KiCAD capabilities to enhance their circuit simulation, model creation and layout experiences.

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d say: just updated the firmware on my new bike’s derailleur…🫠

@danielmangum.com it seems like no matter where I browse the internets these days, THERE YOU ARE

@kicad.org just a heads up, I think the website shows the wrong dates

Anyone have an old SparkFun RED-V board collecting dust in a drawer? I'd be happy to pay you for it (including shipping). Feel free to DM me.

And a follow-up question: if you were picking between "Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition" by Patterson/Hennessy and "Digital Design and Computer Architecture, RISC-V Edition" by Harris^2 for an undergrad text, which would you pick and why?

For anybody that has read both "Computer Organization and Design" and "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" by Patterson/Hennessy, how would you describe the differences between these two books? (content, audience, etc) Are they essentially the undergrad/graduate texts respectively?
