Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_parts | Search microcontroller boards (ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, display boards) and modules (sensors, displays, motor drivers, radio, storage) by name, chip, use or interface. |
get_part | One board or module: pins and their role, interfaces, I²C addresses, Arduino libraries, whether PCBBrew simulates it, a picture and where to buy it. |
search_kicad_parts | Search the KiCad symbol libraries PCBBrew designs with: symbol, description, datasheet. |
list_showcase | Boards that PCBBrew users designed and published. |
Try asking
- “Which CO₂ sensors can PCBBrew simulate with an ESP32, and how do I wire one?”
- “Find a microSD module and tell me its pins and the Arduino library.”
- “Which KiCad symbol should I use for an AMS1117 3.3 V regulator?”
To turn the idea into a board, open PCBBrew and describe it.
