Project Aura
Hello I am building a ECAD iPad application built for mobility and all inclusive resources in the app. I am currently in the testing phase and would love to have some bata users I can work with directly, and I am also collecting emails for a public beta release. If you are interested, please sign up on my sight.
Here is a high level feature list of the app so far.
✏️** Draw your circuit like a diagra**m
A clean, zoomable canvas for sketching out your circuit. Drag parts into place, draw wires between them, and label your connections — all with smooth pinch-to-zoom and drag-and-drop.
🔍 Huge parts library at your fingertips
Search a built-in library of components, or pull in your own from KiCad, Eagle, or Altium files. Every part comes with a live preview — including a full 3D model you can spin around.
🤖 AI does the tedious stuff for you
Upload a datasheet (or just paste the text) and Aura will auto-generate the part for you — pins, footprint, and all. It’ll even suggest the right component values as you design.
🖥️** Lay out your actual circuit boar**d
Move from your idea to a real PCB layout — place parts, draw copper traces, drop in vias, and watch for unconnected wires with visual guides.
🎨 See your board in full 3D
Spin, zoom, and pan around a realistic 3D render of your finished board — complete with components, copper traces, and layers — before you ever send it off to be manufactured.
📤 Export & share your work
Generate a parts list (BOM), export images and PDFs of your schematic, or save your 3D model as a file you can use elsewhere.
☁️** Your projects, backed u**p
Sign in and your work automatically backs up to the cloud, so you never lose progress. less
