#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Some PM realized that agents will not push back against waterfall style project planning, so now we get an agent for all possible versions of waterfall projects.
fair critique but copperhead works as a feedback loop: design, verify, revise and repeat. closer to an engineering control loop than waterfall with an agent on top :)
Is it doing any circuit simulation or anything?

#13Can I take the output of this and get a fully assembled board mailed to me? Thats my dream...

#14I used claude and gemini to edit/debug kicad schematics. And it was pretty good. What is the point of this agent?
I use a jigsaw to cut wood. It works pretty good. What’s the point of a table saw?

#15With AI enabled consumer hardware usecases going to explode this is something super relevant. At least 5 startups have pitched their wearables to me and they could definitely use this

#17"hardware as fast as software". Please no, lol.
I've imagined a chip running as slow as python.

I’ve read it the same way. Definitely a double edged slogan.

#19Has anyone had experience with Copperhead vs Astra and kicad? Looking for a similar tool soon
Copperhead directly edits the KiCad files so that is the CLI version of that Astra demo.

#20This is probably not the primary way people use the tool, but if I log in (desktop, Chrome on macOS), click "Start a board" on the sidebar, and go to click any of the inputs, I can't type text in them (the inputs are "Start from an example", "What are you building", and "The brief".
