We present a MATLABTM toolbox which applies an ant algorithm to design simple analogue circuits. Other researchers have applied earlier algorithms inspired by real social insect colonies to travelling salesman and vehicle routing problems with good success. This implementation suggests some features specific to producing analogue circuits. In addition, the toolbox provides the facility to display and assess the progress of the simulation. It will be extended to work with a broad range of circuit component models, multiple ports, and task-specific ants.
