| | # Open Schematics Dataset |
| |
|
| | A comprehensive dataset of electronic schematics from hardware projects. This dataset is designed for training AI models on circuit design, component recognition, and hardware engineering tasks. |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Description |
| |
|
| | This dataset contains electronic schematic files along with their visual representations, component information, and metadata from various hardware projects. |
| |
|
| | ### Dataset Structure |
| |
|
| | Each record in the dataset contains: |
| |
|
| | - **schematic**: Raw schematic file content (primarily `.kicad_sch` format) |
| | - **image**: PNG rendering of the schematic |
| | - **components_used**: List of electronic components used in the schematic |
| | - **json**: JSON representation of the schematic structure |
| | - **yaml**: YAML representation of the schematic metadata |
| | - **name**: Project name |
| | - **description**: Project description |
| | - **type**: File extension/format (e.g., `.kicad_sch`) |
| | |
| | ### Data Fields |
| | |
| | | Field | Type | Description | |
| | |-------|------|-------------| |
| | | `schematic` | string | Raw schematic file content | |
| | | `image` | image | Visual rendering of the schematic (PNG) | |
| | | `components_used` | list[string] | Electronic components used in the design | |
| | | `json` | string | JSON representation of schematic structure | |
| | | `yaml` | string | YAML metadata of the schematic | |
| | | `name` | string | Name of the project | |
| | | `description` | string | Description of the project | |
| | | `type` | string | Schematic file format/extension | |
| | |
| | ## Dataset Creation |
| | |
| | ### Source Data |
| | |
| | The dataset is compiled from hardware projects, with schematics created using EDA software. |
| | |
| | ### Data Collection |
| | |
| | Schematics were collected from publicly available hardware repositories and processed to extract: |
| | - Raw schematic files |
| | - Visual representations (PNG images) |
| | - Component lists |
| | - Structured metadata (JSON/YAML) |
| | |
| | ### Data Processing |
| | |
| | - Empty schematics (without components or symbols) are filtered out |
| | - Component names are extracted from library symbols |
| | - Images are generated for visual representation |
| | - Multiple format representations (raw, JSON, YAML) are provided for flexibility |
| | |
| | ## Use Cases |
| | |
| | This dataset can be used for: |
| | |
| | - **Circuit Design AI**: Training models to generate or understand electronic schematics |
| | - **Component Recognition**: Identifying electronic components from schematic diagrams |
| | - **Design Assistance**: Building tools to help engineers with circuit design |
| | - **Documentation Generation**: Automatically generating documentation from schematics |
| | - **Design Validation**: Training models to detect errors or suggest improvements |
| | - **Educational Tools**: Creating interactive learning systems for electronics education |
| | |
| | ## Limitations |
| | |
| | - Dataset primarily contains `.kicad_sch` format schematics |
| | - Quality and complexity of schematics vary across projects |
| | - Some projects may have incomplete metadata |
| | - Component naming conventions may vary between projects |
