Quick Examples

Basic Board

tsx

import React from "react"
import { board, resistor, capacitor, trace } from "tscircuit"

export default () => (
  <board width="10mm" height="10mm">
    <resistor resistance="1k" footprint="0402" name="R1" />
    <capacitor capacitance="100nF" footprint="0402" name="C1" />
    <trace from=".R1 > .pin1" to=".C1 > .pin1" />
  </board>
)

CLI Commands

bash

# Initialize a new project
tsci init

# Start dev server
tsci dev index.tsx

# Build circuit JSON
tsci build

# Search for footprints
tsci search resistor
