CNS HowTo 02 create and simulate a circuit (with KiCad)
Creating a circuit in KiCad and simulating it in the CirNavSys: After installing, you might want to create your own circuits in KiCad and simulate them in the CirNavSys. This image series does exactly that: Here we create a small example circuit in KiCad, and then simulate it in the CirNavSys.
