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
