Micro-Cap 12 (Commercial circuit simulator) is now free (as in beer)

[Splintercat]

Just ran across this news, which may be of interest to those in the community.

A commercial circuit simulator (and schematic editor) that used to retail for around $4500 USD, has been released to the world free of cost.

News: Hackaday

Downloads from Spectrum (the makers of Micro-Cap): http://www.spectrum-soft.com/download/download.shtm

The brochure calls out things like analogue and digital simulations.

Hopefully some of you will find it useful for your own hardware projects.

I assume this is windows software, from the mention of .exe files on that download page.

Sounds like a useful tool. Maybe you can use it with Wine.

The hackaday article says they tested it with wine and it worked fine.

Thanks downloaded Micro-cap 12 and the other program suggested on the Hackaday comment "SuperSpice" also free.
