GuideLine is an augmented reality breadboarding assistant built for beginners who struggle to translate schematics into physical circuits. Users upload a circuit schematic, point a phone at the breadboard, and follow an overlay that highlights the exact holes, wires, and components to place.
The project combines schematic parsing, breadboard detection, homography mapping, and a real-time AR interface. It was designed from robotics-club teaching experience, where wiring mistakes were one of the biggest barriers for new members learning electronics. GuideLine placed 2nd overall at JamHacks.
Breadboarding circuits without guidance leads to frequent wiring errors, slow debugging, and a steep learning curve for beginners.
- AR overlay highlights exact component positions on the breadboard
- Step-by-step visual guidance adapts to circuit complexity
- Real-time feedback helps catch wiring mistakes before power-on
Won 2nd place overall at JamHacks and makes electronics prototyping more accessible by removing breadboard guesswork.
