Thanks, as a concept it has potential, I've leveraged some of my previous projects www.circuitsnips.com for inspiration for the subcircuit blocks, TOKN for more accurate parsing of schematics, and to a lesser extent even my datasheet MCP server and kicad-netlist tool, more info at https://www.mikeayles.com/ https://www.mikeayles.com/ For the time being, I'm erring away from feature creep, even though I really, really want to though! For the sorts of products I would like this to make for the time being, simple I2C, SPI and GPIO driven peripherals are the limit. I only have 2 more weeks, and then I want to have a working, battery powered device on my desk. PCB, Enclosure, Firmware, everything. Similarly, I haven't got a framework for anything mechatronic in the MCAD pipeline, so no moving parts (besides clickable buttons). Fixed devices are fine, like screens and connectors though.

Is there a way to stay up to date with what you are doing? It very much aligns with how I've approached hardware since I was 15 and had a massive stack of functional blocks of electronics circuitry that I would combine in all kinds of ways. I've lost the 3x5's, but I still work that way, build a simple block, test it, build another block, test that, hook the one to the other etc.

  Feel free to star/watch the repo for the project at: https://github.com/MichaelAyles/heph https://github.com/MichaelAyles/heph I may be able to set up an RSS feed for the blog if that interests you? edit: https://phaestus.app/feed.xml https://phaestus.app/feed.xml There's a limited sign up currently on the site, which currently goes to an approval page. I don't think I'm quite ready for it to be fully open yet, as i'm paying all the inference, but I should be starting to populate the gallery soon with generated projects.

    RSS feed would be helpful.

      Done, https://phaestus.app/feed.xml https://phaestus.app/feed.xml. If there's any issues i'd appreciate the feedback, I haven't used an RSS feed in a while!

        Seems to work, thanks!

    NP, I don't do GitHub (because MS), but I'll bookmark your pages and check back periodically. Please do post to HN whenever you reach an interesting milestone and feel free to reach out.
