// 01 — Capabilities

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

// PCB DESIGN

Board Design

Describe your circuit in plain language. vexl.diy researches components, calculates trace widths, enforces DRC rules, and outputs Gerber files ready for manufacture.

// CAD FILES

Mechanical Design

Generate 3D enclosures, brackets, and assemblies. STEP, STL, DXF — dimensionally exact.

// IoT

Connected Systems

Full-stack IoT: sensor selection, power budgets, antenna design, protocol selection.

LoRaBLEWiFi
// COMPONENTS

Part Intelligence

Real-time search: Digikey, Mouser, LCSC, JLCPCB. Datasheets, availability, replacements.

// CONSTRAINT SOLVING

Trade-offs Resolved Automatically

Define power budget, cost target, thermal envelope, and board area. vexl.diy maps the constraint space and surfaces trade-offs before you commit — power vs. footprint, cost vs. availability, speed vs. EMI.

// 03 — Process

From description
to production files.

LIVE SCHEMATIC
01

Describe your project

Plain language is enough. "A battery-powered environmental sensor with WiFi, targeting 8-month battery life on 2×AA" is enough to start.

02

Research & constraints

vexl.diy queries component databases, pulls datasheets, calculates power budgets, and maps the constraint space — surfacing trade-offs before you commit.

03

Iterate with precision

Refine through conversation. Swap the MCU, adjust trace widths, restructure the enclosure. Every change validated against your constraints in real-time.

04

Export & manufacture

Production-ready Gerbers, STEP exports, BOMs, firmware scaffolding. Straight to JLCPCB or PCBWay. No cleanup.
