Orion Link 2.0 is an intelligent, AI-powered hardware design workspace created to accelerate rapid prototyping for embedded systems and IoT developers. By bridging cloud-based circuit visualization with a context-aware AI assistant, Orion Link 2.0 eliminates manual datasheet lookups, simplifies wiring analysis, and automates code generation for microcontrollers. Key Features & Architecture: - Dashboard: Centralized control hub offering high-level project metrics, active workspace health, and system configuration logs. - AI Hardware Designer: Context-aware conversational AI terminal that dynamically monitors active canvas components, performs polarity checks, validates pinouts, and generates ready-to-flash C++/Arduino code. - Manual Canvas: Drag-and-drop workspace to visually arrange microcontrollers, sensors, ICs, and actuators with real-time state persistence across user tabs. - Component Library: Structured database of hardware modules detailing pinouts, operational voltages, and technical parameters. - Team Collab: Integrated workspace support for multi-developer hardware design teams. Built during the Native.builder AI Hackathon by Rithik, Sabari, and Ganapathy.

🌎 Online Hackathon | 📅 August 3–10, 2026| 💻 Powered by native.builder The official native.builder hackathon, hosted by NativelyAI and lablab.ai. Join founders, developers, designers, and builders to create real AI-native applications powered by native.builder: from idea to deployed product, fully in the cloud. 💻 This hackathon is fully online. No travel required.
