Inspiration
IoT instruments is still very bad. Last two years I'm trying to find handy tools to achieve my everyday tasks, but there is nothing capable of. So, I'm building it myself.
What it does
ViewEE can display electronic board layout from Cadsoft Eagle and Kicad.
How I built it
I've found great project and hacked it to the usable state.
Challenges I ran into
There is many:
- I don't like matrices or geometric equations, but for this project I need to understand how it works;
- When I working on mobile version I need to rewrite renderer from Canvas to SVG to reduce lag from redraw, but every renderer have it's own advantages and I've decided to support both;
What's next for ViewEE
- Schema viewer;
- Conversion between formats;
- Gerber/PCB viewer with visual diff;
- PCB 3D view
- More formats
