EDAsolver picks parts and creates netlists from requirements

Input simple project requirements and let an algorithm take care of finding components and pin connections

EDAsolver picks parts and creates netlists from requirements launched on December 24, 2014 with 34 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

EDAsolver automates electronics design by converting simple project requirements into component selections and pin connections. Users specify needed components using a JSON-based description language, and the algorithm handles matching and netlist generation within minutes. The tool outputs netlists and bills of materials suitable for schematic or PCB design tools. Designed for engineers and hobbyists, it has been applied to robotics competitions and smartwatch development.

From the sources

Imagine specifying the types of components needed for an electronics project and letting an algorithm take care of the component selection and pin matching. Well, EDAsolver makes this idea a reality. It takes just minutes to start designing actual circuits with the JSON-based description language. Perfect for engineers or hobbyists wanting to get a design out the door fast. EDAsolver was designed by engineers for engineers. It has been used for robotics competitions to smartwatch design. The netlist and BOM output can go right to schematic or directly to board design. An increasing number of designers and developers are discovering the time-saving power of EDAsolver, and they are making…from edasolver.com

V0.005 is an extension with custom Paralle Claude Code agents and infinite canva UX that allows you to iterate design directly in your IDE. It can: - Generate lots of designs in Paralle (Product Mocks / UI components / Wireframes) - Fork and iterate specific designs - Deeply integrate into your IDE workflow We think design might be the killer use case for Paralle agents, and we thought the best way is to build and validate—so here we are!
