GeckoCircuits

What is it?

it a simulator for power electronic circuit, designed by power electronic engineer :)

How do I run it?

use ./bin_jdk8/run_gecko_with_local_jdk.bat if you want to use the local jdk1.8.0_261 use ./bin_jdk8/run_gecko.bat if you want to use the java version installed in your machine

How to get started?

There are many example, but really useful are the PDF tutorials:

• Beginner tutorial
• Basic tutorial
