| Abstract |
Oregano is a tool for schematic capture and simulation of electrical circuits. It simplifes design of simple circuits by letting the user draw the circuit and then simulate its electrical characteristics. This document is mostly meant to be an introduction for someone who already is familiar with circuit simulation and wants to try out Oregano. |
When you first start Oregano, you will be presented to an empty sheet, where you can place circuit components and connect them with wires. To place a component, also known as 'part', first select one in the part browser on the right hand side of the application window. Then press the 'Place' button, or double-click the selected part. You can also drag the part preview and drop it on the sheet.
When you have some parts placed on the sheet, you can start connecting them with wires. Select the wire tool on the toolbar, and click on the sheet where you want the wire to start. Then click where you want to fixate the wire.
Make sure you connect at least one ground node to the circuit, as this is neccessary to perform a simulation.
