About

Sensbench is a browser-based circuit and microcontroller simulator for learning, prototyping, and testing Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, and other supported boards. Users place virtual boards and components on a breadboard, connect circuits, edit sketches, compile firmware, and run it in an emulated microcontroller while viewing serial output and component behavior. It also supports SPICE analog simulation and mixed digital-analog circuits. Guided examples and virtual sensors, displays, LEDs, relays, and other parts are included. An optional AI builder turns a written project request into a parts list, wiring plan, and firmware, while an MCP server lets compatible AI clients operate the workbench. The core simulator is free to use in a web browser; optional AI credits and subscription plans add AI usage and project features. Sensbench also sells physical project kits with pre-flashed boards and guides, including kits designed to connect to Home Assistant over local Wi-Fi.

About

Companies today are faced with complex design challenges and tight budgets. eCADSTAR is more than a PCB layout tool with simulation, 3D MCAD integration, and wire harness support all built on the latest technology for enterprise-level performance at an affordable cost. The modern intuitive UI makes eCADSTAR a compelling solution for all designers. Leverage eCADSTAR’s design capabilities to simplify and accelerate the design process. With the digitally connected library, intuitive schematic capture, and tools to accelerate PCB layout engineers spend less time manipulating the tool and more time doing what they do best, innovate creative solutions for today’s technological challenges. One of the most time-consuming parts of the design process is the test plan. The validation process can be costly in terms of time and money without adequate upfront simulation. eCADSTAR’s capabilities in Spice simulation and SI/PI analysis delivers test cycle time reductions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is very hard to give any pros to this product as every aspect of this SW I've seen better done in other PCB design CADs, even free ones.

Cons

  • - Each design is in fact a database, which means that collaboration is possible only if design files are opened from network location, which at the same time makes this CAD very slow and unstable. At the same time no repository is supported. Forget about downloading whole design each time, as whole project can be vey heavy. - Only one library can be open at a time AND you cannot change component values from the schematic. Which means that changing a resistor value requires: open library, make new component, load that library into the design (if you are prohibited to use your own library only by your company), restart app, replace old resistor with new component. - grid settings are crazy, you cannot cycle grid or change it on the fly. (just to list a few examples)
