What it does

Automatically build parts with computer vision.

Save hours creating schematic symbols and PCB footprints by using simple computer vision and OCR to build them in minutes. All Free. Highlight the pin definition from the datasheet. The pin data will be extracted using our computer vision algorithm. Modify the extracted data to your preferences if needed and generate the symbol. Modify the extracted data to your preferences if needed and generate the symbol. The symbol will automatically link to a verified footprint. It can then be downloaded in all major formats. Easily build a schematic symbol using the datasheet in minutes. All Free. Symbols are automatically linked to an IPC-compliant footprint to meet manufacturing standards. Available…from snapeda.com

  • I made a little digital circuit simulator that operates on PNGs2022 · github.com · ▲259

    This is a little toy project of mine that lets you simulate digital logic graphs. It was inspired by Minecraft's Redstone and the Piet esolang. It's got some serious drawbacks-- you write circuits as PNGs and simulate them with a Python interface. It's slow to run and slow to experiment with. And it is certainly difficult to use for people with any kind of color blindness. But despite that, I hope this can still be a fun toy!
