   I Designed My LED Matrix PCB with Code Instead of Traditional EDA Tools (docs.tscircuit.com)
I built a WiFi-controlled RGB LED matrix using tscircuit, a library that lets you design PCBs with JavaScript instead of traditional CAD tools. This approach allowed me to leverage familiar programming concepts like components, loops, and functions to create a physical circuit board. The article walks through how I designed a 3x5 LED matrix controlled by a Raspberry Pi Pico W, from schematic capture to PCB layout, all using code that looks similar to React. I'll explain the advantages of this declarative, code-first approach to hardware design and why it might be the future of PCB development for many projects
