I did 2 pcbs recently with claude (opus 4.8 and 5).
One was simple, the other pretty complex. I’ll open source them at some point.
I did manual routing myself, including most positioning, but claude was super helpful in identifying components, reviewing, etc. It was truly a collaboration.
These are my first pcbs ever, I don’t have any edu at all at making pcbs and was really excited to receive working prototypes. The other pretty amazing thing is that I have py scripts that generate the all the kicad files, as a human I wou look d have never done that (for the cost of building the py files) but I find it pretty neat.
