Engineering Tool Roadmap
The calculator library will continue expanding into
PCB engineering, embedded systems, power electronics,
RF and hardware manufacturing.
1
Fundamental Electronics
Ohm's law, voltage and current dividers,
resistance, power, capacitors, inductors,
RC circuits and resonance.
2
Component Engineering
Resistor color codes, SMD markings, capacitor
codes, component combinations, energy storage
and practical component calculations.
3
RF & Signal Engineering
Wavelength, antennas, dB, dBm, attenuation,
signal ratios, RF systems and transmission-line
calculations.
4
PCB & Power Electronics
Trace width, via current, impedance, PCB
stackups, converters, batteries, thermal
calculations and power-system tools.
5
Embedded Systems & Manufacturing
Future tools can include UART, SPI, I²C,
PWM, clocks, BOM analysis, PCB manufacturing,
assembly and hardware production utilities.
