Are there any books or material that a person can learn electronics with Qspice. It seems to me that Qspice would be a good use in learning about electronics. I have used AI to write a few chapters using Qspice in learning Electronics but it would be nice if this was already done. I know there is some material spread throughout Qspice and the internet. Any books?

Did you know this resource? I learned a lot of qspice knowledge from there?
@coop ,
Welcome to the great world of electronics! Welcome to the great world of QSpice: One of electronics best tools!
Your search of a book to mate electronics and QSpice together is admirable. I applaud you for your efforts to create one.
As @macsky wrote, there are quite a few references to concepts and examples from many contributors on this forum. People such as @KSKelvin, @RDunn and @physicboy to mention just a few. They have attempted to shed light on some very useful features of QSpice that may not have gotten expansive attention beyond the QSpice help file.
Like anything in electronics, specialties have evolved. A person can delve deeply into any specific subject and not have enough time to explore it fully.
Is your inquiry to learn more about electronics/electrical principals or to learn how to do elegant/complicated simulations with QSpice?
There many contributors to QSpice with archived references to expanded feature explanations and examples usually in GitHub. Suggestion: Maybe Mike Englehart could place links in the help file to point to further information and examples. Just a thought.

@KSKelvin topic coverage is extremely wide.
Below are the niche guys:
@Rdunn is heavy on C-programming/-block and MCU emulation
@lpoma I believe works a lot on simulation design validation, often dealing with logic elements.
@physicboy myself is power electronic (circuit modeling, analyzer, and C for efficient digital control).

Frequency Response Analyzer Project Kelvin has created a frequency response analyzer (FRA) in QSPICE using the Ć-Device (DLL-block). The FRA is a method that analyzes the relationship between signals in a system by injecting a perturbing source.

Rob Dunn
Robert Dunn has implemented a simulation of a small 8-pin PIC16F15213 chip, a āframeworkā that makes it possible to implement arbitrary Microchip micro-controllers and run a QSPICE simulation with the uC device running arbitrary code.
This work includes:
- A series of in-depth C-Block DLL component development tutorials (āC-Block Basicsā, currently 8 documents).
- Tools and tips for debugging C-Block DLL components.
- Various example C-Block DLL components including WAV file I/O, SPI and Serial I/O, PID controller, etc.
- A TCP-based client/server framework for inter-process communication between C-Block DLL code and external processes.
- Tips and instructions for configuring modern programming tools for C-Block DLL development including the VSCode IDE, MS Visual Studio, and MinGW compilers.
- A Microchip micro-controller simulation framework (currently implements PIC16F15213 & ATtiny85 chips; users can implement additional devices).
