Potentiometer / potmeter example made by Holger.
This simulation has the setpoints in it, and that is a new feature of KiCad V7.99.
Recently, on Friday the 13th of October 2023, Holger stated a new thread for simulations in the new KiCad version.
New simulation examples are following here.
Up to Class E RF generator I have been using KiCad 8. Now I am switching to KiCad 9. It should be no problem to open KiCad 8 Eeschema files in KiCad 9 for simulation, as the simulator interface did not change. Unfortunately it is not possible the other way round. You may not be able to open KiCad 9 files in KiCad 8 any more. ngspice-44 is typically involved.
The previous examples (KiCad 6, ngspice-38) are visible at Simulation examples for KiCad/Ees…

First posted in this topic:
I’ve looked at other links for potentiometer SPICE simulation and I’m having similar problems, or what I think is similar. I can get the simulation to run but when I change a TextBox parameter, the wiper value remains to what is in the library. There was a bug in 5.0 that I assume was corrected.
Below is screen shot of my schematic and the TextBox.

Am I doing something wrong or am I expecting something that can not be done?
Thanks
