simulation profiles #12

Open wt opened 3 months ago

It would be really handy to have simulation profiles included. Is that something you are looking into adding at some point?

Currently there are no plans to include any simulation models. Some of the devices included in the library are so outdated that finding such models is basically impossible. Personally I'm using a separate software to simulate circuits, because I found the KiCad's included simulator somewhat lacking. I'll keep the issue open so that other people can voice their opinions or upvote.

There are also potential licensing concerns, some Spice models are available under restrictive license agreements that could prevent me from uploading them as part of this library.
