Export PCB Footprints and Symbols to Mentor Graphics PADS

Hi folks, we just released the ability to export our library of schematic symbols and PCB footprints to Mentor PADS. This is a beta release so it would be great to get your feedback. To try it, search for a part on SnapEDA (http://www.snapeda.com), click download and then select "PADS" as the format. You can try it out on this part here directly if you prefer: http://www.snapeda.com/parts/PIC32MX250F128B-I/SS/Microchip/view-part/

    Generate PCB Footprints from text using AI2024 · text-to-footprint.tscircuit.com · ▲7

    Hi HN! This is a little project to generate PCB footprints from text descriptions. It works by teaching an LLM a compressed DSL representation for footprints. I think this is generally a good technique if you're trying to get LLMs to work on spatial problems. Right now I'm focused on reproducing footprint shapes, but after that I'll benchmark the correctness of the footprints using % overlap on known package descriptions, as well as a kicad_mod export I built this because I realized I needed to use AI to help tscircuit catch up to the decades of electronic design tool progress that I'm not…

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
