Problemes to simulate gen7 with gEDA suite.

Hello to everybody.

Probably because I am not used to work with Linux and gEDA suite, I am having problems to simulate gen7 files.

The matter is that I download the gen7 files from repository in the desktop of my computer
installed gEDA suite and at first I want to simulate the gen7board but I am having problems for that.

I follow the next process:

- I open gen7board from gschem, no problem.

With ngspice motor.

- I open gen7board from gspiceui.

It is generated in gspiceui fields below (with netlist tab).
It apears some , unknown and unconnected_pin-x.
Everithing else is correct.


- I click "create a netlist file containing simulations instrctions" in gspiceui interface.

It is generated in gspiceui fields below (with simulation tab)
again some , unknown and unconnected_pin-x.


- I click "run the simulation engine process" in gspiceui interface.

It is generated in gspiceui fields below (with console tab)
It appears:

"Error: unknown subckt: x_min 1 0 +5v unknown
Note: No ".plot", ".print", or ".fourier" lines; no simulations run"

Finally simulation is not possible.


With GNU-CAP motor.

- I click "run the simulation engine process" in gspiceui interface.
It is generated in gspiceui fields below (with GNU-CAP tab).
There appears something like (I paste that here just in case give a idea of
possible problem cause).

#nucap 2009.12.07 RCS 26.136
-9.999E+99 -9.999E+99 0.000E+00 1.000E+02 -9.999E+99
-9.999E+99 -9.999E+99 0.000E+00 1.000E-01 -9.999E+99
-9.999E+99 0.000E+00 5.000E+00 1.000E-01 -9.999E+99
-9.999E+99 0.000E+00 5.000E+00 1.000E-01 -9.999E+99

and so on.

Please, any suggestion will be priceless for me.

Best regards.

There's zero information about the electrical properties of the components in the Gen7 schematics. You'd have to add that, first.

I'm also wondering what's the purpose of simulating that circuitry. RepRap electronics behaviour is commanded 90% by the firmware. If at all, I'd see only sense in simulating sub-circuitries like the thermistor input or heater output.

Thank you very much for the information Traumflug and sorry for my delay repliying, I have been able to see the forum right now.
