🔌 Micro-IoT-Robot-Gen: Phase 6 Complete!
Date: 2026-01-06
Status: Phase 6 Complete ✅
Engine: Hardware Abstraction & PCB Forge
✅ Phase 6 Achievements
1. Bill of Materials (BOM) Explorer
Logic: /lib/hardware/bom-generator.ts
UI: /app/hardware/page.tsx
Features: - 📦 Dynamic Inventory: Automatically lists components (MCU, Motors, Drivers, Sensors, Battery). - 💰 Cost Analysis: Real-time calculation of total project cost in Thai Baht (฿). - 🗂️ Categorization: Groups parts into Controller, Motor, Sensor, Driver, Power, and Chassis. - 📋 Export Ready: Visual layout for easy copy/paste into procurement spreadsheets.
2. Wiring Schematic Log
Logic: /lib/hardware/wiring-generator.ts
Features: - 🗺️ Pin Mapping: Comprehensive chart showing connections between components and MCU pins. - 🎨 Color Coding: Includes wire color suggestions (Red for VCC, Black for GND, etc.) to ensure build safety. - 🛡️ Conflict Prevention: Uses the same pin allocation logic as the Firmware Generator.
3. Virtual PCB Forge
Page: /app/hardware/page.tsx
Features: - 🛠️ Visual Layout: Interactive SVG-based PCB preview. - 🖱️ Drag-and-Drop Components: Test component placement and spatial constraints on the board. - 🛤️ Track Simulation: Visualization of copper tracks connecting the ESP32 to driver modules. - 🟢 FR4 Aesthetic: Traditional green PCB look with professional silkscreen markers.
🛠️ Technical Implementation
BOM Calculation Engine
- Unit Price Database: Sourced from local Thai hobbyist markets.
- Quantity Logic: Scales based on robot drive type (e.g., 4 motors for Mecanum).
Wiring Logic
- Source-to-MCU Mapping: Explicit mapping of source pins (ENA, SDA, TRIG) to ESP32 GPIOs.
- Safety First: Dedicated ground and power rail definitions.
