Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design -
Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design@tretron @malachai @adafruit All of that is true, but at 10% time saving on projects with weird components. If, big if, the machines can be relied upon to produce footprints and symbols faster and more reliably than I can do it myself, then why not? Should we never use the tool just because it's mostly used for copyright violation and porn?

Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design@malachai @adafruit I mean no disrespect when I ask why this is not an appropriate use generative AI? Capturing footprints and schematic symbols is pure drive work that can take hours before you even start the actual engineering. The tech bros talk a lot of crap, but getting the machines to do these boring robotic tasks really does free up engineers to do creative work.

Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design@mavu @adafruit Why though? This is a perfect use for generative AI. Creating footprints is pure slog work, pad size, pad spacing, solder paste, solder mask, silk screen. Look up the the sizes in the data sheet, or a seperate sizing spec sheet if it's from TI. The associate pins with pads. It can take hours and at the end you have a schematic component so now you can begin the actual engineering.
