OpenLab plans electronics builds from the parts in your drawers
OpenLab is a self-hosted electronics workspace that inventories physical components, finds missing parts, and helps plan and review hardware builds.
Field notes
The example workflow starts with a Wi-Fi room sensor and checks an ESP32-C3 SuperMini and BME280 module against recorded drawer locations, while flagging a USB-C enclosure as absent from reviewed stock. The page says proposed inventory records require confirmation before changes are made, and that build plans can include pin and electrical-constraint review. A configured installation may also export a KiCad schematic and use local or external assisted processing.
