Software
This section has simple auxiliary open-source projects created to aid either in designing circuits (for microelectronics and/or instrumentation) or more broadly to help in the workflow.
Open-source
PAMPA-SEARCH: A minimalist graph navigation library to solve path-finding optimization problems
- Source Code (Python) Repository: https://github.com/tiagoweber/pampa-search/
- Release (install it using "pip install treenav"): https://pypi.org/project/pampa-search
- License: MIT
- PAMPA-SEARCH provides basic state-space-search in graphs (graph navigation) for path-finding optimization problems. It has configurable features that allows the user to adapt it to the problem at hand. Its first use was to solve maze problems (see examples). The library works both for manually created graphs or for problems in which the graph is created dinamically through iterations/movements in the problem. For that purpose, the user can create a class to describe its problems.
PGEN-B: PWL Voltage Source Generator from Bitstream
- Source Code (Python) Repository: https://github.com/tiagoweber/pgenb/
- Release/executable (currently only for Linux): https://github.com/tiagoweber/pgenb/releases
- License: MIT
- About: This program was created to help circuit designers have a quick and easy way to generate PWL (Piece-Wise Linear) voltage sources from bitstreams to use in SPICE simulators (such as NGspice).
