Hey! I can't see your links to the LEDs or the QT Py, but I'm assuming they're probably neopixels as you mentioned "IC" LEDs. Drag your parts into flux and just ask copilot how to connect them together properly. Jus

It's a weird feeling knowing that Altium isn't a pure ECAD company anymore. Like sure, the team is all the same and will build an EDA tool, but somewhere higher up, there will be a skew towards the automotive industry. I used Alti

PCB Design is a broad "field." Depends on what you're building. I think people place too much of an emphasis on the tool you use instead of the skillsets you need. At the end of the day, in 99% of cases, we're integratin

I agree with most of these in general, but when combined to a Manifesto, I can't help but feel like this is somewhat satrical

I love teaching PCB design! As with you, I'm also really curious about AI's contributions to learning. My opinion is that the automation of search and execution increases the impact one person can make so more time can be spent on

I'll interpret "right" as in giving correct information. I found that it depends on the type of question asked; if it's somewhat general information such as design concepts and design topologies, it impressively nails it

PCB Designer on the team: Holy cow this is awesome! The integration of project context with an LLM enabled more than the sum of its parts when it comes to information access. When designing circuits for fast iterations, you're constant
