Show HN: Circuit Bot - AI powered co-engineer for embedded systems development
2 ibrahimdanish 1 8/27/2025, 7:46:58 PM circuitbot.io ↗
I’ve built *Circuit Bot*, an AI-powered assistant that helps embedded developers get things done faster.
Try the demo: https://www.circuitbot.io
What Circuit Bot does: - Parses and interprets device datasheet (few devices for now STM32C0) - Answers natural-language questions from the docs: - “How do I configure ADC1 for continuous conversion?” - “How many I2C channels are there”
Why it matters - Datasheets are dense — engineers waste hours reading registers - Circuit Bot will reduce time to prototype. - It will help understand devices, generate code based on datasheet, technical references and sample code.
Current status - MVP ready: Supports STM32C0 devices. Adding more devices.
Feedback wanted - Is this concept useful in your day-to-day embedded work? - What chips or peripherals should Circuit Bot support next? - Would you use a version integrated in your IDE or docs portal?
I’d be grateful for your insights. Thanks for checking it out!
