2. Direct DigiKey Integration: Linked components in schematics directly to DigiKey's product database for easy purchasing. 2020–2021: Significant Upgrades ■ October 2020: Launched Symbol Editor 2.0: ■ Users could create custom symbols.
Initial launch: December 13, 2011: ■ DigiKey introduced Scheme-
it, an innovative, web-based schematic and diagramming tool designed to help engineers, educators, students, and hobbyists quickly design and share electronic circuits.
Key features at launch: 1. Browser-Based Interface: Made accessible without
■ Existing symbols became editable for better flexibility.
■ March 2021: Added Ultra Librarian Integration:
requiring software installation.
2. Basic Component Library: Included standard electrical and electronic symbols. 3. Diagramming Tools: Allowed users to create simple circuit designs with drag-and- drop functionality. 4. Sharing Capability: Provided basic export features like saving as PDFs or sharing via links. Major milestones in Scheme-it’s development: 2015–2016: Early Improvements 1. Enhanced Component Libraries: Added more DigiKey catalog items to the tool.
■ Over 2 million component symbols from Ultra Librarian’s extensive database were added. ■ Users could search and integrate these symbols directly into their schematics. ■ Mathematics Markup: Supported LaTeX and AsciiMath for adding equations to schematics. ■ KiCad Export: Enabled users to export schematics into KiCad EDA software for PCB design. These advancements solidified Scheme-it as a powerful, flexible tool for circuit design and prototyping.
