Open Hardware Component Library | GSoC 2025 | Final Report

Nihal Rajpal, Aug 2, 2025,

Hello everyone, I’m Nihal Rajpal, a GSoC 2025 contributor for the project “Open Hardware Component Library”. Over the course of GSoC 2025, I worked on expanding the CircuitVerse simulator with hardware-oriented components and enabling connectivity with real-world devices. This included implementing configurable components such as shift registers, comparators, pull resistors, FIFO queue, and a fully functional SerialPort component powered by the Web Serial API. These additions allow users to simulate and interact with actual hardware—bridging the gap between digital circuit simulation and physical electronics experimentation.

Open Hardware Component Library | GSoC 2025 | Phase 1 Report

Nihal Rajpal, Jul 16, 2025,

Hello everyone, I’m Nihal Rajpal, a GSoC 2025 contributor working on the project “Open Hardware Component Library”. As part of the first phase of GSoC, I’ve been working on adding hardware-oriented components to the CircuitVerse simulator and enabling serial device connectivity for real hardware interaction. About the Project 🖥 Open Hardware Component Library This project aims to improve CircuitVerse by adding new components that are useful for learning about real hardware, such as shift registers (SISO, SIMO, MISO, MIMO), comparators, and a buzzer (speaker), Priority MUX, etc.
