Find the bug while it’s still a drawing.
Boardless keeps your schematic, your 3D-printed case and your firmware in one project, and checks them against each other every time you change something. In development.
↓ Try it: pick a part, then click a pin.

ESP32 DevKit V1, 30-pin. The pin rules are the real ESP32 ones. The editor around them is what I’m building now.
Most hardware bugs are found at the bench.
A 5 V sensor on a 3.3 V pin. A pull-up on a strapping pin. A USB-C port that misses the case opening by two millimetres. You find them with a multimeter, after the boards have shipped and the print has finished.
Every one of them was already in the design.
The voltages are in the datasheets. The pin rules are in the ESP32 manual. The port position is in the board outline. They just never sit side by side.
So Boardless puts them side by side.
Schematic, enclosure and firmware live in one project. Move a wire and the firmware pin map follows; change the case and the check looks at every port again. Before you solder or print anything.
What it checks first
| Check | The bug it catches | Compares |
|---|---|---|
| Logic levels | A 5 V sensor output lands on a 3.3 V ESP32 input. | parts, wiring |
| Strapping pins | A pull-up holds GPIO12 high at reset. The board never boots. | parts, wiring |
| Pin capabilities | An analog read on ADC2 returns nothing once WiFi starts. | wiring, firmware |
| Power budget | The radio’s transmit spike browns out the regulator. | parts, wiring |
| Mechanical fit | The USB-C port sits 2.4 mm off the case cut-out. | board outline, enclosure |
| Pin map | Firmware drives GPIO5. The wire is on GPIO18. | wiring, firmware |
Why I’m building it
Hardware projects take real expertise and a lot of trial and error. I want to make that simpler.
I started building production-grade hardware with isbusy. Along the way I experimented with AI-driven development at every step, from picking the hardware to designing the case in 3D.
No single tool covered that whole journey, so I ended up building my own for every step of hardware development. Boardless brings them together.

I’m letting people in by small groups. Tell me which boards you use and what keeps breaking; that decides what Boardless supports next. Price isn’t decided yet; the list hears first.
Only the email is required.
[✓] You're on the list.
I'll email you when there is something to try. If you described what broke on your last build, thank you. It goes into the list of checks.
