The AI generated the board files for two circuit boards, and both boards work

Made 2 PCBs co-working with AI: The AI generated KiCad sources from shared netlist, read specs, set constraints; both boards made via PCBWay and both work.

How it works

  1. They share a netlist
  2. The AI generates the KiCad sources
  3. Reads the specs and sets the constraints
  4. Both boards are made by a board house and both work

Why it’s worth knowing

The boards came back from the factory and worked.
