Electronics design search engine integrates PCB software
SnapEDA and DipTrace, an easy-to-use PCB design software, are announcing a new collaboration that introduces support for DipTrace on the SnapEDA website, and integrates SnapEDA’s massive computer-aided design (CAD) database directly into DipTrace’s latest PCB design software. With billions of electronic components to choose from, engineers are faced with multiple challenges during the component selection […]
Free automated part builder for PCBs
Software billed as the first free automated part builder uses computer vision technology to let PCB designers make schematic symbols in just minutes. Called InstaBuild, it uses a datasheet as the input and automatically extracts symbol pinouts, understands whether a pin is an input, output or power pin, and auto-arranges the symbols based on published […]
Cloud-based symbol/footprint library speeds PCB design
Designers can now search and download free, cloud-based symbols and footprints directly during PCB design capture and layout, significantly boosting design productivity. “For forty years, PCB designers have frittered away countless hours defining parts because there simply wasn’t a workable, affordable source for accurate, ready-made parts. In fact, surveys show that most professional designers spend […]
