00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:02.506
Antigravity lives in Hydrogen's AI menu.

00:00:02.556 --> 00:00:04.913
Click the plus, then Manage AIs.

00:00:04.963 --> 00:00:12.934
On the Antigravity row, Install puts in the extension and the command line together, and Sign in starts the login.

00:00:12.984 --> 00:00:18.148
Continue with your own Google account; Gemini 4 Argon needs Google AI Ultra.

00:00:20.150 --> 00:00:20.903
Signed in:

00:00:20.953 --> 00:00:31.750
Manage AIs now shows Antigravity signed in for the extension and the command line, and an Antigravity button appears in the AI threads bar for new conversations.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.357
Clear its first-run screens:

00:00:33.407 --> 00:00:36.972
agree and get started, then dismiss the welcome card.

00:00:38.150 --> 00:00:40.615
Hydrogen widgets live in the title bar.

00:00:40.665 --> 00:00:43.848
Open the widgets menu and turn on Antigravity usage:

00:00:43.898 --> 00:00:49.236
it shows how much of the weekly quota is used, fourteen percent before this build.

00:00:49.636 --> 00:00:50.517
One sentence:

00:00:50.567 --> 00:00:58.898
make me a twelve volt to five volt buck converter with the TPS54202, use adom-aiflow, and use KiCad.

00:00:59.298 --> 00:01:06.268
Argon follows adom-aiflow's twenty-five steps, and the AI Flow timeline in Hydrogen tracks every one.

00:01:06.318 --> 00:01:08.608
First, the fab's design rules.

00:01:09.008 --> 00:01:13.302
Then the circuit math, every value from the datasheet's own equations.

00:01:13.702 --> 00:01:14.039
Sourcing:

00:01:14.089 --> 00:01:17.132
every part in stock, with a part number.

00:01:17.532 --> 00:01:24.202
Every part has its own page on the Adom wiki, with its 3D model, right here in a Hydrogen tab.

00:01:29.532 --> 00:01:32.407
And the same parts arrive in KiCad:

00:01:32.457 --> 00:01:36.586
symbol, footprint and 3D model, from the board's own library.

00:01:40.532 --> 00:01:43.820
Argon draws the schematic in KiCad:

00:01:43.870 --> 00:01:46.602
thirty-eight symbols, zero ERC errors.

00:01:48.532 --> 00:01:52.125
Before any copper, it simulates the circuit in SPICE:

00:01:52.175 --> 00:01:54.554
start-up, ripple and a load step.

00:01:54.954 --> 00:01:56.523
Placement, part by part.

00:01:56.573 --> 00:02:00.976
Every move is a KiCad bridge call; nobody touches the mouse.

00:02:03.954 --> 00:02:09.544
Routing then finds the switching trace too long, and aiflow sends Argon back to placement.

00:02:09.594 --> 00:02:10.672
Loop back one.

00:02:11.072 --> 00:02:12.894
Two parts move in closer.

00:02:16.072 --> 00:02:25.142
Then routing again, trace by trace and net by net, every track a KiCad bridge call, to zero DRC errors and zero unconnected.

00:02:28.072 --> 00:02:31.550
The current analysis finds a neck in the switching copper.

00:02:31.950 --> 00:02:35.539
So aiflow sends Argon back to the pours to widen it.

00:02:35.589 --> 00:02:36.532
Loop back two.

00:02:36.932 --> 00:02:44.696
The thermal check then finds the inductor's copper running hotter than its budget, and sends Argon back to widen the output pour.

00:02:44.746 --> 00:02:45.762
Loop back four.

00:02:46.162 --> 00:02:49.619
Adom Fields, its own app, solves the real copper:

00:02:49.669 --> 00:03:00.920
current density, heat, temperature, the current flowing, the voltage on every net as a river, and then the energy itself, travelling through the board between the two copper layers.

00:03:03.362 --> 00:03:25.200
Then how fast a change crosses the board, one switching cycle slowed a million times, the charge on the copper, the magnetic field around the hot loop, an EMC screen against FCC class B with fifty-six decibels of margin, the ground return and a possible ground loop through two connectors, the noise couplings, and how stiff each power rail is.

00:03:29.662 --> 00:03:30.914
Then the silkscreen:

00:03:30.964 --> 00:03:35.252
every label, polarity mark and pinout, placed by the AI.

00:03:36.662 --> 00:03:39.636
The finished board in KiCad's 3D viewer.

00:03:50.662 --> 00:03:53.324
And underneath, every contact labeled.

00:03:56.662 --> 00:03:57.068
Finish:

00:03:57.118 --> 00:04:03.452
every check passes, and the Gerbers, the BOM and the pick-and-place file are exported.

00:04:03.852 --> 00:04:05.438
And the finished project page:

00:04:05.488 --> 00:04:13.618
the board in 3D, this film, every part with its icon and where to buy it, the analysis gallery, and every step of the build.

00:04:25.852 --> 00:04:31.562
Start to finish, the whole board used five point six percent of a week of Google AI Ultra:

00:04:31.612 --> 00:04:35.402
about two dollars and sixty cents of a two hundred dollar plan.
