Description
ExpressPCB is thrilled to unveil a range of exciting upgrades to our ExpressPCB Plus software! Among these enhancements is the new Schematic Link and Netlist Validation feature, which ensures reliable design validation from schematic to layout before you begin manufacturing. This update enables users to seamlessly connect the schematic netlist from ExpressSCH to the PCB layout in ExpressPCB Plus. Additionally, we've introduced a "Net Connection" tool that allows users to easily highlight connected pads in a net, simplifying the board layout process. The software now offers comprehensive validation of the entire ExpressPCB Plus layout, ensuring it aligns with the ExpressSCH schematic netlist. Users will also benefit from detailed error reporting, identifying any missing or extra components, pins, connections, or other design elements. Errors can be highlighted, and users have the option to zoom in on specific locations for easier correction. This streamlined process allows for quick resolutions and validations in one convenient tool, and users can export error reports in Microsoft Excel format for further analysis. These enhancements aim to boost design accuracy and efficiency, making the entire process smoother for users.
Description
ProtoFlow is an advanced electronic design automation (EDA) tool specifically designed for schematic capture and PCB design, utilizing AI technology. It allows users to describe circuits in straightforward language, which generates an editable initial draft, enabling the search for actual electronic components and their footprints, along with datasheet inspections to ensure accuracy. Users can tidy up wiring and seamlessly continue working in familiar schematic and board editors. The tool includes features such as ERC/DRC reviews, 3D board visualization, Git-backed version control with visual diffs, collaborative comments, and outputs for manufacturing, which encompass Gerber files, drill files, BOMs, and placement files. Importantly, designs are maintained as editable geometries, and it is crucial for users to double-check symbols, footprints, connections, and manufacturing details prior to production. Additionally, ProtoFlow has the capability to read and write native KiCad files, allowing for easy integration into existing EDA processes. A free plan is accessible without the need for a credit card, while paid plans offer enhanced AI capabilities. This tool is tailored for hardware engineers, makers, students, educators, researchers, and startups in the electronics sector, making it a versatile choice for various users in the field. Furthermore, its intuitive interface and collaborative features make it an ideal option for teams working on electronic projects.
