Show HN: Splice – CAD for Cable Harnesses and Electrical Assemblies

How do you mean? The trailing slash? I just removed it but let me know if you you need it (or anything else) changed in some other way.

Thanks Nick - I'm a fan of your site. Email coming your way.

Thanks for pointing this out!

It happens to me on many sites too, I'm not sure what causes it. Seems to mostly happen in Firefox iOS

Interesting application - not sure the visualization currently lends itself well to that. My first approach would be to make the modules components and then arrange them to mimic the actual appearance. We don't currently have text on the component creator so labeling may be tough.

I'll put something together with the current features and share here.

Thanks Chris!

I intend to keep the current functionality (50 harness/assembly designs per account) free. A collaboration feature is coming soon that will allow creating teams and sharing harnesses with specific accounts - we may charge here at some tier but this is TBD.

I was unaware of the YC company (https://www.loombotic.com/ I think) - thanks for pointing me to it.

Could work well as an Onshape App.

Hi -

Download as in run the app locally or download a design?

If the former, that's not currently possible.

If the latter, you can use the Download button on the harness builder (top floating button menu) to choose an available format for an engineering drawing, diagram, or BOM or choose JSON or WireVIZ YAML; see the Export and Documentation section here: https://splice-cad.com/#/tutorial

Thanks!

For internal part numbers, are you wanting to assign internal part numbers for components (like connectors, etc.) used in an assembly or an internal part number to the assembly itself?

An internal part number for the assembly is coming soon, but the internal part numbers for individual components is not something that's planned right now.

Currently, all wires in a bundle (all wires between the same two connectors are part of a bundle) are forced to have the same length. Do you want to override that?

The connector graphics are not currently exported to WireViz YAML, so you'd have to re-link them manually with your own image file. The ability to download a zip with the graphics included is in the works.
