ktechlab
future of ktechlab
Hi
Ktechlab could be a great tool for students of all school grades. I think in order for this to happen a good website should be made (on KDE) to present the program.
A detailled website something like this: https://umbrello.kde.org/ with:
- manual (pdf) having screenshots
- news section on the website
- windows version (schools don't use linux) and/or mac version
- mailing list info
- screenshots
Also ktechlab could include more examples in the program separated into "basic", "advanced", ... and further into categories. "Basic" could be very easy things (example: logical ports https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T0qSyBlBSY&list=PLoDMzhU2aLA6FIggu3axq4JKqv2-99qnO&index=3 ) so young students of high schools can step into ktechlab and get more and more advanced in learning. The current examples are too advanced for young students
Ktechlab is great. I'm currently using it for an introductory electronics course (circuit analysis) that I'm taking (most students are using the proprietary intro version of Multisim from NI, but I use Linux and prefer open source software). One thing that is missing though is a Ohmmeter. It has a Voltmeter and an Ammeter, but for some reason it doesn't come with an Ohmmeter. If that could be added it would be fantastic.
@MarkG-108 I'm happy to hear that KTechLab works for you. An Ohmmeter is basically a voltage source and a current meter. This is why measurements with an Ohmmeter should be done only on not powered circuits.
