if you're favorite pcb house isn't on here lmk :)
try Backplane :D
AI-assisted PCB design for KiCAD 10 using MCP

waow I love backplane
Use @BackplaneWorks to design a board
Have backplane write the test firmware and give me test point reference tables for troubleshooting
Hook it up to my agent sandbox so backplane can write its production firmware and test it live while I sleep
new component placement skill in Backplane led to us fooling ~30% of commenters vs. ~5% on this test.
GPT models perform much better than Claude models for component placement, FYI.
this is called going beastmode
Hey uh @BackplaneWorks I had this idea while driving here is a brain dump...
Project created and schematic started while I am away from my PC in literally 30 seconds. I come back to my desk and I already have hours of progress done
Neat!
sry for the amount of lalamo slop that you're seeing in the README, in Backplane tooling, in docs. it's being rewritten by a human now. PLEASE BEAR WITH US
we will merge the PR, I had my robot look at it. I trust you. Backplane—it’s about trust. It’s not about hardware ;— it’s about trust
Replying to @observie
I run a headless KiCad agent setup using @BackplaneWorks
Also if you want to be more hands on you could try the Konnect MCP, I use it all the time and it has a bunch of great tools
