OK, AI has come up a couple of times recently…
That’s a very different use case than for me…
I have a complicated project that allows using the Microchip software simulator inside of a QSpice schematic. I’ll be sharing the new version soon…
The key challenge is that we need a unique set of “Pin Definitions” for each micro-controller device (or device family). For example, we need a PinDef file for the ATtiny25/45/85 chip to produce the various symbol, schematic, and DLL source files. A PIC16F15213/PIC16F15214 chip requires a different PinDef file. The project will generate all of the required *.qsym, *.qsch, and DLL source code from the PinDef file.
The project will launch with ATtiny25/45/85, PIC16F15213/214, and (maybe) PIC18F4455/4550 device files. For other devices, the PinDef file is easy for a user to create manually from the datasheet.
With the right prompts, Claude can generate really good first-passes of PinDef files directly from the datasheets.
That truly surprised me.
