Product Vibe-Coder
Design hardware products end-to-end: search components via Octopart, build a BOM, auto-generate enclosures, layout PCBs, and scaffold firmware.
Status: planned. This feature is not currently in the codebase (prototype removed 2026-07).
The sections below describe the intended design. No product store, panel, or octopartProxy Cloud Function currently ships.
Workflow
- Search components — query the Octopart database by keyword or MPN
- Build BOM — add components to a bill of materials
- Generate enclosure — auto-compute bounding box from BOM dimensions + padding
- Layout PCB — define board outline shape and thickness
- Scaffold firmware — select target MCU and language
Component Search
A planned octopartProxy Cloud Function would wrap the Nexar/Octopart GraphQL API (returning mock data such as the following until wired):
- ESP32-WROOM-32E
- BME280 (temperature/humidity sensor)
- SSD1306 (OLED display)
Enclosure Generation
The planned generateEnclosureFromBom() helper would compute:
- Width = max component width + 2 * wall thickness
- Height = max component height + 2 * wall thickness
- Depth = sum of component depths + padding
Materials: PLA, ABS, PETG, Aluminum
