We present the first toolkit that equips blind and visually impaired (BVI) developers with the
tools to create accessible data displays. Called PSST (Physical computing Streaming …

CurveBoards are breadboards integrated into physical objects. In contrast to traditional
breadboards, CurveBoards better preserve the object's look and feel while maintaining high …

The Maker movement has encouraged more people to start working with electronics and
embedded processors. A key challenge in develo** and debugging custom embedded …

Toolkits like the Arduino system have brought embedded programming to STEM education.
However, learning embedded programming is still hard, requiring an understanding of …

We propose autocomplete for the design and development of virtual breadboard circuits
using software prototy** tools. With our system, a user inserts a component into the virtual …

In many engineering disciplines such as circuit board, chip, and mechanical design, a
hardware description language (HDL) approach provides important benefits over direct …

Exploring and interacting with electronics is challenging as the internal processes of
components are not visible. Further barriers to engagement with electronics include fear of …

We propose blending the virtual and physical worlds for prototy** circuits using physical
proxies. With physical proxies, real-world components (eg a motor, or light sensor) can be …

Assembling circuits on breadboards using reference designs is a common activity among
makers. While tools like Fritzing offer a simplified visualization of how components and wires …

Debugging printed circuit boards (PCBs) can be a time-consuming process, requiring
frequent context switching between PCB design files (schematic and layout) and the …
