Show HN: Hardware.dog: automated schematic and PCB review
I design a lot of hardware projects and kept running into the same problems:
– digging through long datasheets to find constraints
– checking whether parts were risky or going out of stock
– looking for reference designs that already solved similar problems
– catching obvious power or schematic issues too late
So I started building small internal tools to help with this, and eventually turned them into a web tool.
Right now it can:
• review schematics and PCB exports for common issues
• summarize datasheets and highlight important constraints
• suggest alternative parts that are in stock
• estimate power usage and help build a power tree
• find relevant reference designs
It’s still early and definitely imperfect, but it’s already sped up my own workflow quite a bit.
I’m curious what parts of hardware design people here find most repetitive or annoying. What tools do you wish existed?
