Got to be honest, I wish I had known about @InspectARTeam before I started manually tracing out that Quantel keyboard PCB a couple of weeks ago.
I'm more a software dude than EE, but the idea of automated PCB tracing using computer vision excites the absolute hell out of me!

I'm honestly a bit disappointed that it's a bit outside my usual workflow - I tend to do my reverse-engineering using datasheets and decompilation. But the folks working on it seem like some really great peeps.

For the more hardware-inclined of you out there, I would encourage you to give InspectAR a shot, and get at me (and them!) as to what your experience is like. Cheers!

I should probably clarify, since me being wildly excited about software is not usual for me: This is *not* a sponsored endorsement in any way. I don't get anything out of it. I just think InspectAR is cool as shit.

It looks cool - but I get the impression it's meant for inspecting PCBs, not reverse engineering them. If it could do PCB-RE, I'd be VERY interested. I still have the Datatrak board to reverse back into a netlist.

When you get right down to it, the two use cases are remarkably similar. I wonder if it's just that "Hey, our software can help you work out other folks' boards" isn't necessarily so palatable to potential investors, so it's intentionally omitted.

Yeah the difference is the data input format. With "forward" engineering you have the board data files. For that I'm quite fond of ZofZPCB, OpenBoardView and Whitequark's Kicad OpenBoardView exporter.

Definitely, but what I mean is that they wouldn't have let me know about their software in the first place if it required a board data file. After all, I was pretty clear in my tweets that I was tracing out some random PCB photo supplied by someone else. :)
