Featured The complexity cliff, and how ε stays on top of it We measured CopperPilot ε against a general-purpose agent on the same LLM: 341 real KiCad tasks across 49 designs, graded by KiCad rather than an AI judge.

Designing a Jetson Stereo Camera PCB With AI (Full KiCad Build)
Building a Jetson carrier board with stereo cameras: an 8-layer, credit-card Jetson Nano PCB planned, laid out, and routed in KiCad with CopperPilot.
A CM5 camera carrier from a Python spec
copper-pilot-cli example 002: a 55×40 mm six-layer Compute Module 5 camera board, driven from main.py — plan, netlist, layout, local autoroute, then ERC and DRC asserts.
CopperPilot in Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
copper-pilot-cli now exposes the PCB agent as a skill, a Claude Code plugin, and an MCP server. The outer tool delegates. CopperPilot designs the board.

CopperPilot in your terminal: a CLI and LangChain agent for PCB design
copper-pilot-cli is on PyPI: the same PCB design agent, in your terminal and as a LangChain Runnable. English in, KiCad out, clean ERC and DRC.
I built CopperPilot to design PCBs. I used it to fix my car.
A stuck car horn, a fuse box, and an AI that is already good at reading datasheets and circuits.
A credit-card Pi Compute Module camera board
Smaller than a credit card: Raspberry Pi Compute Module, 8MP camera, WiFi and Bluetooth, wired, routed, and DRC clean.
MPPT solar charger: netlist parity to DRC-clean layout
A manufacturable 3A MPPT solar charger: 34 components, 137 stitching vias, five copper zones, and zero fatal DRC errors.
PCF85063A RTC breakout, blank canvas to production-ready
CopperPilot built a PCF85063A RTC breakout in about 10 minutes: level shifters, 56 stitching vias, and zero netlist errors.
An on-device ESP32-S3 AI camera with PIR
A battery-powered ESP32-S3 AI camera with PIR, WiFi, and Bluetooth: on-device vision, no cloud, DRC clean in KiCad.
