Spider PCB

This project is in a pre-alpha stage and is intended to give a rough idea about the final program. It does not do much more than draw pretty pictures.

Hierarchical circuit layout is commonplace amongst IC designers, but Spider PCB brings hierarchical layout to the PCB industry. Not only is the schematic hierarchical, but also the layout.

Ever wanted to lay out a 16-band equaliser, with 5 sound channels? Lots of copying and pasting on the PCB-side. Just imagine if you could lay out one channel of the equaliser, then go up one hierarchical level and lay out 1 sound channel, using your single-band equaliser 16 times, with the only difference being the component values. You can then go up one hierarchical level more to lay out the 5 sound channels, add some headers and a power supply circuit, and another to panellise the PCB’s for production. No copying and pasting. No trouble editing a mistake later. This is the idea behind Spider PCB.

Today’s small-to-medium-sized (SMB) businesses and large enterprises are saving on their monthly communications costs by making one simple decision: to switch to a VoIP service solution from their old, outdated Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS). By choosing a new VoIP service, these companies enjoy the flexibility, reliability, call features, and audio quality that only a VoIP service can provide. Plus, they cut their phone bill by up to 70%!
