An open-source reference kit for NVIDIA V100 SXM2 pinouts and NVLink interconnects, providing 800 canonical contacts, connection tables, and KiCad starter designs for two- and four-GPU configurations as groundwork for an open carrier board.
An open-source USB-C LTE modem board that gives a computer its own phone line — LTE data, SMS, and voice calls with call audio over USB — designed by Koppar from a one-page spec and fully documented with KiCad files, gerbers, and assembly instructions.
Tsinghua University researchers propose a Bounded Dual-Loop Automated Schematic Synthesis Framework that converts natural language specifications into verified KiCad schematics for power electronics, boosting component verification coverage from 22.2% to 98.6% and SPICE pass rates from 0% to 100% versus a vanilla LLM baseline.
Konnect is a native KiCad 10 plugin — a single Rust binary exposing 228 MCP tools across 21 toolsets — that lets Claude and other AI assistants design schematics, route PCBs, run ERC/DRC, and export manufacturing files, replacing the older Python/TypeScript KiCAD-MCP-Server with direct IPC API access.
BSides Orlando 2026 published the open-source repo for its retro-futurism-themed electronic conference badge, featuring a CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller, RGB LEDs, capacitive touch, an SAOv3 I2C host, and a text-adventure CTF running over a serial console, along with KiCad hardware sources and picorvd-based flashing tooling.
The article discusses the official demo of PCB layout using KiCad in the GPT-6 Astra promo video from OpenAI, comparing it with personal experience using Codex.
KiHub is a hardware review platform for KiCad projects, enabling community discussions and feedback on electronics designs.
A college student built an open-source component registry for AI-assisted PCB design, akin to npm for hardware, aiming to crowdsource 1,000 common components to reduce hallucinations in agentic PCB design tools like Claude Code.
