@KudohMiwa haha it's ai generated

[copperhead @copperheadhq]

gave copperhead the context of an existing hardware product. it came back with a complete, editable system architecture: 160 parts, 100 nets, one sheet.

stm32h7, tlv320aic23b, tps62130 + adp7142, opto-isolated midi in, buffered trs out, microsd and qspi.

guess the product.

goes hard 😼

@Azure thanks @msft4startups!

[copperhead @copperheadhq]

copperhead is now backed by $1,000 in cloud credits. let's build ⚡️

Traces that curve assymptotically

Impedance Discontinuities Cause Signal Reflections In the video, the transmission line suddenly widens, and high-frequency, high-speed signals are clearly emitted at the point of impedance discontinuity. #RayPCB

from a markdown brief to gerbers, firmware and documentation.

copperhead's create pipeline moves through eight independently gated stages. deterministic tools verify output, git isolates every stage and interrupted runs resume without starting over.

@prathapsayz @kicad_pcb that's reassuring to hear. hoping we can make hardware engineering a lot more accessible.

13 things I would have told myself before building an autorouter 🧵

I’ve spent about a year working on an autorouter for tscircuit (an open-source electronics CAD kernel written in Typescript). If I could go back a year, these are the 13 things I would tell myself

@drabhaydaga llms work great on text/code but are not optimised to work with schematics or pcb design.

[copperhead @copperheadhq]

"AI designs your hardware" is the wrong pitch.

models are good at judgment and expensive at everything else. copperhead uses AI where judgment matters and deterministic engines where correctness matters more. better boards, far less spend.

blog dropping soon!
