Falstad Simulator with Arduino A2D Example
#if 0 // simulation documentation
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
Using any of the simulator's Save/Export functions will _NOT_
save this soure code! Before exiting the simulator, you must
save this text file somewhere.
Note that the schematic is encoded in text below. If you change the
schematic, you'll need to update the import text below to "save" it
with this file. However, the code doesn't care about that at all. Use
File | Export as Text... to regenerate the schematic text representation.
Steps for simulation:
1) Goto http://falstad.com/circuit/avr8js/
2) Paste this file into the right hand box
3) Copy everything between the lines of equal signs below.
Do not include the equal sign lines
4) From the simulator File menu, select Import from Text...
5) Paste the text into the import text box and import
6) Press the Run button over the source code;
not the Run button on the circuit diagram
