PySpiceを使ってみよう

概要

Pythonから動かせる回路シミュレータであるPySpiceをインストールしてみよう。

インストール

ChatGPTに聞いた通り

1. PythonでPySpiceをインストール。pip -install pyspice

2. brewをMacにインストール

3. brewでngspiceをインストール

4. ngspiceのlibngspice.dylibへのパスを通す

5. パスをDYLD_LIBRARY_PATHに追加します

6. .zshrcを編集

動作確認

8.12.1. Capacitor Inductor — PySpice @VERSION@ documentation

 #r # This example shows the simulation of a capacitor and an inductor. #r # #r # To go further, you can read these pages on Wikipedia: `RC circuit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit>`_ #r # and `RL circuit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RL_circuit>`_.
