Description
Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation (EDA) platform for designing printed circuit boards. It brings schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, routing, and design rule checks into a shared online workspace.
Its AI hardware design assistant helps turn plain-language circuit requirements into schematics, research components, place parts, route traces, and review designs. Engineers can edit the results, define design constraints, and review the board before manufacturing.
Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, leave comments, and manage project permissions. Reusable community circuits and component libraries help teams start new designs, while live component pricing and availability support part selection.
Flux exports Gerber, bill of materials (BOM), and pick-and-place files. It accepts Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics and KiCad component libraries. These imports do not include PCB layouts.
Flux is used by electronics engineers, hardware startups, and product teams. A trial includes limited AI usage; after the trial, a paid plan is required to edit or export private projects and use AI. Public-project and community access remain available.
Description
Sensbench is an online simulator designed for circuits and microcontrollers, making it an excellent tool for learning, prototyping, and testing various platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico. Users can arrange virtual boards and components on a digital breadboard, connect circuits, modify sketches, compile firmware, and execute it in an emulated microcontroller while monitoring serial outputs and the behavior of components. The platform also offers capabilities for SPICE analog simulation, as well as mixed digital-analog circuits. Alongside comprehensive guided examples, it features virtual components like sensors, displays, LEDs, and relays to enhance the user experience. An innovative AI builder can transform a written project request into a detailed parts list, wiring diagram, and firmware, while an MCP server allows compatible AI clients to interact with the workbench seamlessly. The core functionalities of Sensbench are available for free through a web browser, though users can opt for additional AI credits and subscription plans for enhanced project features. Furthermore, Sensbench provides physical project kits that come with pre-flashed boards and instructional guides, including specialized kits designed for integration with Home Assistant via local Wi-Fi. This combination of virtual and physical resources makes Sensbench a versatile choice for both beginners and advanced users alike.
