EBE | Electronic Brain for Everyone

Arduino IDE

EBE will be released by the end of 2022 on Kickstarter!You can join our <a href="https://discord.gg/yFShtxrUn6">discord server </a>to get in touch, or pre-order your licenses on our <a href="http://ebe.fleche.tech/">dedicated web page </a>I have been a maker since I was a kid. But in my entire life, I never managed to design a working customized PCB. My theoretical background was poor, Datasheets were scary. Each time, a made some stupid mistakes I could hardly debug. <figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/5980a52e-4c87-40b6-8f39-6d8492667e94.gif /><figcaption>No quick and dirty manual prototyping anymore</figcaption></figure>In 2018, I found in love with c++ and tried to make something that could do it for me. After years of research trying to find a new approach that could be handled by an algorithm. <figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/32a35a8a-785d-4ecb-bbf3-5c6629e39bae.gif /><figcaption>The system/resource paradigm </figcaption></figure>I think I have found something. It works (as an MVP/prototype itself). It will not design satellites for Mars but EBE is really powerful in creating custom Arduino shields. Its first purpose. I called it EBE for Electronic Brain for Everyone. It is the first open-source software able to design electronic circuits automatically from specifications only. NO theory is needed!<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/616c87a6-58ce-460f-b924-0283a13e6323.png /><figcaption>Specifications entering</figcaption></figure>You just have to describe the specifications (the features the circuit must offer at the end) with all that you know and leave the rest by default. EBE will design the most simple circuit that fits your needs and your user preferences. The schematic part can be done in a few minutes.<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/d63ebfeb-71d2-4985-ba66-58cdbef1842b.png /><figcaption>Best component proposal for needed resources </figcaption></figure>Then, the layout part is simplified so you can just draw the board shape, place the main components as you wish, and that's it! EBE will run DRC validation to ensure everything is fine and all components are suppliable. If not, it should propose step-by-step fixes. <figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/24f9e226-4c81-4c51-8393-968aa3663a44.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure>With a click, you can order your board in a kit or fully assembled by our manufacturing partner.For example, I have made a couple of demos you can find on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq-xkaT-E3rYQ6uYU1qD4zw">youtube channel</a> to see how it works.<div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false" style="width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tHFznY1c1bQ" data-proportion="true" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-align="none" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe><figcaption contenteditable="true"><div>How to create a simple automated watering system using an arduino nano</div></figcaption></figure></div>The community is everything in this project. Projects and components, in open hardware, source code on our GitHub (available after the first release). With the new team, we tried to create a good environment that could generate Darwinist evolution like every open hardware sharing.<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/f29678f8-b0ee-44b9-8844-45bb29ed81e5.gif /><figcaption>Collective intelligence</figcaption></figure>Content will be generated and validated by the community itself. The most active users will earn cash back to save money on the PCB manufacturing.
