pramodk73 · x · 2026-08-03
A developer shares their experience using AI to assist with PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design.
They note that with AI's help, PCB designing is no longer intimidating. They can now understand general terms, design PCBs with 2-layer routing, and understand the flow of ordering and SMD assembly.
However, they also point out a major pain point in the local ecosystem in India: the feedback time from fab and assembly houses is over two weeks, making hardware iteration extremely difficult.
