Cadence Design Automation
AI agent control of Cadence OrCAD Schematic Capture and Allegro PCB Editor over a live database bridge — real reads and writes, not screenshots or GUI scripting.

This site documents work to push forward what is possible in the field of PCB design using the latest AI tools and automation scripting. Every project has at its core an AI agent writing and running code, driving real EDA tools directly: Cadence OrCAD Schematic Capture and PCB Designer (Allegro), and LTspice, the software used to design and verify circuits through simulation. The goal is to advance the state of the art in AI automation, one working project at a time.
Each entry is a real, running project with a link to its repository.
A moving-coil phono preamplifier, designed by Dave and Claude and laid out in Allegro through the Cadence bridge.
AI agent control of Cadence OrCAD Schematic Capture and Allegro PCB Editor over a live database bridge — real reads and writes, not screenshots or GUI scripting.

A Python-controlled LTspice simulation, analysis, and automation toolkit for agent-driven electronics workflows — CLI, REST API, and an MCP server.

Two channels, 400 MS/s each, and a reproducible analog design study that shows the passing results and the failures that shaped it.
12-bit data acquisition firmware for an inexpensive TI LaunchPad, streaming to a Python GUI over USB CDC — a working microcontroller project, not the discrete analog front-end instrument design study elsewhere on this site. Includes an edge-triggered burst capture mode, and a USB throughput investigation that reversed its own first diagnosis.
