Circuit Schematic Visualizer Using Python And Schemdraw

This project leverages the Python `Schemdraw` library to programmatically create professional-quality circuit diagrams. Users will learn to design essential circuit components, assemble full schematics, and export polished diagrams for documentation.

pip install schemdraw

pip install --upgrade schemdraw

🐍 Library Overview

https://schemdraw.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

🔸 Available Elements:

• Passives: Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor, Ground
• Sources: DC, AC, Signal inputs
• Actives: BJT, MOSFET, Opamp
• Logic: Gates, flip-flops (`schemdraw.logic`)
• Custom ICs and blocks
• Element Library: Resistors, capacitors, ICs, transistors, etc.
• Automatic Routing: Components auto-connect when chained.
• Customization: Colors, styles, labels, and annotations.
• Export: SVG/PNG for documents or presentations.

Create a basic circuit to demo the library:

import schemdraw
import schemdraw.elements as elm
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:
    d += elm.Resistor().right().label('1Ω')
    d += elm.Capacitor().down().label('10μF')
    d += elm.Line().left()
    d += elm.SourceSin().up().label('10V')

    d.save('simple_circuit.svg')

LED Blinker Example

import schemdraw
import schemdraw.elements as elm
from schemdraw import pictorial
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from PIL import Image
import os

# Set line width globally
elm.Line.defaults['lw'] = 4

def draw_breadboard_demo():
    filename = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'breadboard_demo.png')

    with schemdraw.Drawing(show=False) as d:
        bb = pictorial.Breadboard().up()
        pictorial.DIP().up().at(bb.E5).label('555', color='#DDD')
        elm.Line().at(bb.A8).to(bb.L1_7)
        elm.Line().at(bb.J5).to(bb.R1_4)
        elm.Line().at(bb.A5).to(bb.L2_4).color('black')
        pictorial.Resistor(330).at(bb.B7).to(bb.B12)
        pictorial.LED(lead_length=.3 * pictorial.INCH).at(bb.C12)
        elm.Line().at(bb.A13).to(bb.L2_13).color('black')
        pictorial.Resistor(520).at(bb.G6).to(bb.G3)
        pictorial.Resistor(520).at(bb.J6).to(bb.R1_10)
        elm.Line().at(bb.H3).to(bb.H7).color('green')
        elm.Wire('c').at(bb.G7).to(bb.D6).linewidth(4).color('green')
        elm.Line().at(bb.H8).to(bb.H12).color('green')
        elm.Line().at(bb.J13).to(bb.R2_14).color('black')
        pictorial.CapacitorMylar(lead_length=.2 * pictorial.INCH).at(bb.I12)
        elm.Line().at(bb.C6).to(bb.C3).color('green')
        pictorial.CapacitorMylar(lead_length=.2 * pictorial.INCH).at(bb.D2)
        elm.Line().at(bb.A2).to(bb.L2_1).color('black')

        d.save(filename, dpi=300)

    Image.open(filename).show()

RaspberryPi and Led Example

RaspberryPi and Led Example

- Visualize a non-inverting Op-Amp amplifier.

- Design a BJT amplifier and annotate voltage levels.

- Convert netlists (CSV or text) into complete visual schematics.

- Integrate with matplotlib to plot waveforms alongside circuit diagrams.

- Use `schemdraw.logic` to sketch digital circuits like gates and flip-flops.
