Zap! 发布：AI PCB 自动布线器
Zap! 是一款极速自动布线工具，声称把 AI PCB 开发周期从数天压缩到数分钟，作者用它推进自家相机硬件量产。
Introducing Zap! Zap! is an lightning-fast autorouter built to take down AI PCB dev cycle from days to minutes. After parting ways with my co-founder @MrPorkchop720 the company was met with a crisis of having to deliver AnchorCam Stereo (our main product) with no hardware engineers. I searched all over SF, Shenzhen, and Seoul but could not find engineering firms that could deliver production quality egocentric cameras that meets our exact specifications. I was afraid to tell to the customers about this situation - all I could do in the meanwhile was assemble off-the-shelf boards from partnering companies. But now with Zap! I can iterate on the boards myself without hand-routing - after Zap! is done the AI agents are usually able to fix the remaining issues through finishing touches. I actively use it to get AnchorCam Stereo production ready, and hope it enables many more to aim for larger problems that can only be solved through new hardware. You can compare Zap!'s performance with other popular routers in the link - it does really well. I am also working on an automated placer, so stay tuned for the next launch. I'll let you know when AnchorCam Stereo becomes available. To those who ordered and are still waiting, I greatly appreciate your patience and will get back to you as soon as we get our first fully working samples. Although Alex left the company, we remain good friends - he will be launching something exciting soon too, so shoutout to him @MrPorkchop720 - Yejun
