I think the hardest problem you’ll encounter for a project like that isn’t schematic capture or PCB layout but rather figuring out what kind of signals you’re going to need for interfacing to the existing hardware. Looking at https://www.rtsauto.com/e30-cluster-pinout/ https://www.rtsauto.com/e30-cluster-pinout/ for example looks light a nightmare to me to try to keep straight and interface to correctly, where using Atopile or KiCAD or Altium. I do think Atopile is onto something though: the idea of being able to make “modules” made up of discrete comments that are reusable across multiple projects is pretty awesome. It’s not a new concept by any means but flipping through their documentation gives me faith that they might have figured out a relatively clean way to do it. The downside, for me, is that schematics are infinitely useful for debugging and there’s a lot of semantic information communicated in (good) schematic layout that I fear will be lost when using Atopile (like left-to-right signal flow).
