- The energy cycle.
ui view --quantity cycle: one switching period of a buck converter, slowed about a million times: energy from the input capacitors through the switch into the inductor's magnetic field, the field collapsing to push the current on into the output, the capacitors' stored energy and the heat, with a meter (switch state, inductor current waveform, each store, heat and delivered energy per cycle). Ideal continuous-conduction model from the parts' own L and C values and the spec's switching frequency; a board it cannot model says why. - The silkscreen. The board's own F.SilkS and B.SilkS (KiCad's SVG export) on one textured plane per side over every view, so VIN, the connectors and every reference read on the field; the T button or
ui view --silk on|off;adom-fields silkadds it to an existing solve. - Part values.
fields.jsonpartValues: each part's value from the board (KiCad Value property, Fusion element value). - Subtitles sit at the bottom edge between the readout and the legend; a sentence break no longer splits a decimal ("1.6 million").
- The tour adds the energy cycle.
# adom-fields 0.7.2
- **The energy cycle.** `ui view --quantity cycle`: one switching period of a buck converter, slowed about a million times: energy from the input capacitors through the switch into the inductor's magnetic field, the field collapsing to push the current on into the output, the capacitors' stored energy and the heat, with a meter (switch state, inductor current waveform, each store, heat and delivered energy per cycle). Ideal continuous-conduction model from the parts' own L and C values and the spec's switching frequency; a board it cannot model says why.
- **The silkscreen.** The board's own F.SilkS and B.SilkS (KiCad's SVG export) on one textured plane per side over every view, so VIN, the connectors and every reference read on the field; the T button or `ui view --silk on|off`; `adom-fields silk` adds it to an existing solve.
- **Part values.** `fields.json` `partValues`: each part's value from the board (KiCad Value property, Fusion element value).
- **Subtitles** sit at the bottom edge between the readout and the legend; a sentence break no longer splits a decimal ("1.6 million").
- The tour adds the energy cycle.
