tool, which uses external scripts to generate a BOM in the desired format, is still available. The SPICE simulator interface has been expanded and overhauled. The simulator tool now supports several new mixed-signal circuit simulator, originally based on Berkeley SPICE, that is integrated into KiCad’s schematic editor. By using symbols with attached SPICE models, you can run circuit simulations on KiCad schematics Component name Description Schematic Editor Create and edit schematics; simulate circuits with SPICE; generate BOM files Symbol Editor Create and edit schematic symbols and manage symbol libraries
