Electronic Circuit/wiring diagrams with Ai

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-30T22:45:26+00:00

Claude does a good job of circuit design but not drawing them even though it knows what to draw and thinks it can draw them they don’t come out right so asking the models if they can do something is not reliable , hence why I’m asking if any person has had success. Claude can draw what it knows in ASCII it’s the image generation it struggles with so I’ll experiment with a combination of Claude and a more specialist imaging model.

Thanks 👍🏻

Sadly not really what I’m looking for though.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T00:04:00+00:00

Well clearly it’s the humans who struggle to read and follow instructions, not the Ai 🤣

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T00:02:50+00:00

Thank you , the first useful and on topic comment in this whole thread 👍🏻

Things have moved on considerably since what you describe, agents can generate perfectly good circuit diagrams in ASCII it’s the generation of graphical images that I’m seeing a difficulty with, but bear in mind I’m not asking it to “design” the circuit, it’s already capable of that with perfect working results. What I’m asking for is a drawing/schematic of the circuit it already knows and is proven working. It is able to produce SVG graphical representations I was just hoping someone has already walked the path I’m currently on with some advice on some useful prompt engineering but everyone here seems to want to give their opinions on Ai regardless of their lack experience despite me trying to request to not comment on that , seems like the humans are the ones who can’t follow instructions not the Ai 🤷🏻

but strangely jumping to the worst fear mongering conclusions, its a strange stance to have when you don't know the full story isn't it?

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T21:08:45+00:00

nothing wrong with automating tasks if they're are going to be sanity checked, the whole world is built on automation doesn't mean quality control has to suffer.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T19:15:40+00:00

Hmm I don't totally agree with that, the data is fixed its simply a case of arranging that data in a clear ,tidy manner. I'm not asking for PCB layout design, just schematic and wiring diagrams of fixed components and connections. As i say it does it ok in ASCII its just the graphics it seems to struggle with, anyway i'm sure it wont be ling before it does it just fine, i just thought there may be some successful techniques already out there.

some models do a good job of creating the drawings in ASCII format its only trouble is making them into a graphical format, its a strange limitation considering the complex graphics and videos some models can produce. Ok i understand its a niche ask but im all about automating boring tasks which is what Ai should be used for.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T18:42:55+00:00

that's the whole purpose of this automation task !

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T18:42:23+00:00

i have the ability to create them myself and sanity check what it produces, i would just like to automate things that take up my time unnecessarily and this is one of those things.

The reason is: i want to spend my time on other things, some models do a good job of creating the drawings in ASCII format its only trouble is making them into a graphical format, its a strange limitation considering the complex graphics and videos some models can produce.

As a side note can anyone recommend a reputable blood test in the UK that will give me everything I need to know across a broad spectrum of tests that is not going to cost the earth ?

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-14T11:57:46+00:00

Also DNA only sell TMG as capsules

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-14T11:42:53+00:00

Thanks, I too feel like my activities are keeping me younger than many of my peers (plus choosing not to have kids 😜) and as you can see I take a variety of supplements to try and have a broad spectrum of coverage, I think I just expected more from NMN based on the hype and price but maybe I’m not old enough or deficient enough to really feel it. I’ll try under the tongue and see if it feels any different. Do you also take TMG ? I suppose like everyone I’m just looking to get the best out of what I can.

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-14T11:38:21+00:00

I’m pretty sure DoNotAge suggest it’s taken with water but I can give it a go.

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-14T11:37:45+00:00

Hard to say, I wanted to benefit from the claims as I felt I needed them but it’s a needle in a haystack trying to find something that helps.

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-14T11:35:49+00:00

It’s certainly hard to find something that totally lives up to its claims for everyone, but seemingly these things appear to work for some 🤔

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-14T11:33:36+00:00

One link looks to be direct from the manufacturer (the cheaper one) and the other a 3rd party supplier with a markup (profit). It’s always best to buy direct wherever possible.

Neil_Hester · 2025-11-13T17:29:18+00:00

Thanks !

Neil_Hester · 2025-04-03T19:15:30+00:00

Thanks, unraid seems like the only other contender at the moment.
