Circuit Aide is an AI agent that turns a plain-English project idea into a real starting design: which chips to use and why, how to wire them together, working firmware, and an ordered build plan — from breadboard prototypes to PCB-ready advanced builds.
You write what you want to build the way you'd explain it to a friend. The agent handles the translation into an actual hardware design.
Real part families matched to your requirements, with a plain-English explanation of why each one fits — plus a priced bill of materials.
An auto-generated schematic-style diagram showing how every component connects, labeled with the actual signal and pin names.
Complete starter code for your chosen platform — Arduino/ESP32/Pico for hobbyist builds, or MCU-level code for advanced PCB projects.
An ordered plan from assembly through flashing — schematic capture and layout guidance too, once you're building custom PCBs.
Start on a breadboard with off-the-shelf modules, or target bare ICs and a custom PCB layout as your project matures.
Concrete part numbers and pin roles instead of generic suggestions — a real starting point, not a vague sketch.
No hardware background required to start — just describe the thing you're trying to build.
Describe the device in plain language: what it senses or controls, how it's powered, and any constraints that matter to you.
Hobbyist for breadboard-friendly modules and Arduino-style code, or Advanced for bare ICs and custom-PCB-oriented guidance.
It selects chips, wires them together, writes firmware, and lays out a build plan — all generated together so they stay consistent.
Check the diagram and BOM, copy the firmware, and follow the numbered steps — or refine the brief and generate again.
Every field is a real starting point — chips, wiring, code, and steps generated together from one description.
