KTechLab
Encyclopedia
KTechlab is an Open Source
IDE
for electronic and PIC microcontroller
circuit design
and simulation. Featuring an extensive circuit designer with autorouting
and simulation of all common electronic components and logic elements.
Ktechlab is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL. Version 0.3.7 was released on March, 11 2009.
When David Saxton stated that he wouldn't be able to continue developing the software, Ktechlab stalled for a while before
Julian Bäume, Jason Lucas, Zoltan padrah, Alan Grimes and several other continued his work, releasing version 0.3.7, with more components and
lots of bug fixes.
Work on KTechlab continues, the main priority currently being porting to Qt 4

History
Ktechlab was first developed by David Saxton, who worked on it until sometime during 2007. Most of the design ideas and a lot of the current code are still his. He released various versions, up to version 0.3.6.When David Saxton stated that he wouldn't be able to continue developing the software, Ktechlab stalled for a while before
Julian Bäume, Jason Lucas, Zoltan padrah, Alan Grimes and several other continued his work, releasing version 0.3.7, with more components and
