Customizing Copilot

Defining your project requirements is good practice to help you and your team stay aligned through the design process. Copilot uses this information to help you create your project and ensure you meet your goals.

Overview

Precise requirements act as a checklist, minimizing the chance of overlooking essential elements. It also ensures that every team member, regardless of their role, understands the objectives and constraints.

Did We Say Teammate?

Copilot is your knowledgeable teammate. With Copilot, not only do you get an assistant trained like an experienced electrical engineer, but with clear project requirements, also adapts to your project's specific needs. It understands, remembers, and assists based on your project's context.

Presets

To get you started quickly, we’ve designed presets for common projects. They contain pre-configured properties with common requirements that have been validated by experts. If you find one that you like, clone it and use it as the building block for your project.

• Audio: Use this template to design audio applications like amplifiers, mixers, processors, etc
• Edge Computing (IoT): Build connected IoT solutions with communication protocols, power consumption, and security measures.
• Aerospace: Use this template to design satellite payloads, avionic systems, or space instruments.

Customize a Preset

Once you’ve cloned a preset project, you can modify all the existing properties to match your exact needs or add new properties with additional requirements.

If none of the presets above are a good match for your project, you can create your own preset. To do so, create a new project and add all the relevant properties. These are some properties we found work in almost every industry, but feel free to add any property you deem relevant:

• Software: [Linux, Arduino, Bare metal]
• Power Requirements: [Battery charging, USB]
• Compliance: [RoHS, REACH]
• Connectivity: [USB, Wifi, Bluetooth, Ethernet]
• Human Interface: [Buttons, Display, Joystick]
• Operating Voltage: [3.3V, 5V, 5V, 9V]
• Operating Temperature: [* -40° to +85°, -55° to +125°]
• Reliability: [10,000hrs, 30,000hrs, 50,000hrs]

Copilot will consider your project requirements and provide feedback that aligns with your goals. Instead of generic solutions, get context-specific advice, saving you time and effort. These are some examples where Copilot uses your project requirements to help you stay on track:

Copilot Remembers Every Detail

Copilot ensures your requirements are adhered to throughout the project. Whatever the nature of your question, Copilot will factor in your project's details in its response and proactively let you know if you’re failing to meet a requirement

Highly Accurate Part Recommendations

Get recommendations that are tailor-fit to your project requirements. Copilot will assess each recommendation against your project's requirements to provide the best-matching alternatives.

Components and BoM Verification

Copilot can scan through the Bill of Materials (BoM) and validate them against project requirements in seconds. Whether it's checking for RoHS compliance or ensuring a component doesn't exceed the temperature threshold.
