Build examples live
Describe a circuit in lecture and edit the generated schematic in real time as a teaching artifact.
For educators
Teach with live circuits.
Turn a description into a wired schematic in front of the class, and give every student a free path from idea to a real KiCad project.

01 | THE PROBLEM
EDA setup eats the first three weeks
01
Onboarding a class onto traditional EDA burns lecture time before any circuits.
02
Static slides can't show how a schematic comes together.
03
Giving feedback on dozens of student schematics is slow and scattered.
02 | HOW PROTOFLOW HELPS
A free path for every student
Students start free and export to free KiCad, so nobody is blocked by a license.
Feedback in context
Comment directly on a schematic and collaborate live instead of marking up scattered screenshots.
03 | FROM LECTURE TO LAB
1Describe
Demonstrate live
Describe a circuit in front of the class and generate an editable schematic to teach from.
2Draft
Students build and edit
Each student starts from a description, edits the draft, and clears DRC/ERC to learn the fundamentals.
3Export
Continue in KiCad
Students export a clean KiCad project and finish layout in your existing curriculum.
04 | FAQ
What does it cost students?
It is free to start, covering the capture-to-export workflow most courses need.
Can I give feedback on student work?
Yes — commenting and live collaboration let you annotate a schematic directly.
Does it fit a KiCad-based course?
Yes. Students export a clean KiCad project and continue in your existing curriculum.
