Project description

The Problem with Electronics Design Tooling Building a circuit board has always had a software problem. Long before a single component is soldered, engineers spend hours inside EDA tools: drawing schematics, assigning footprints, placing components, routing traces, running design rule checks, and packaging Gerber files for the fab. The hardware insight might arrive in minutes. The toolchain grind that follows takes far longer. ZapTrace is an open-source project that takes direct aim at this gap. Built by Osman Aslan — a developer whose background spans embedded systems (ESP32, STM32…
