Printed-circuit-board design maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The trace-width endpoint applies the IPC-2221 standard to find the minimum copper trace width for a current and an allowable temperature rise, A = (I/(k·ΔT^0.44))^(1/0.725) with k = 0.048 for outer layers and 0.024 for inner, returning the cross-section and the width in mils and millimetres for a given copper weight. The trace-resistance endpoint computes a trace's resistance from its width, length and copper thickness, R = ρ·L/(W·t), with the copper temperature coefficient, and — given a current — the voltage drop and power dissipation. The microstrip endpoint computes the characteristic impedance of a microstrip line by the Hammerstad model from the trace width, the dielectric height and the dielectric constant (about 4.5 for FR4), with the effective permittivity and propagation delay for controlled-impedance routing. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, hardware, embedded and PCB-design app developers, board-layout and signal-integrity tools, and electronics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is PCB design; for resistor colour codes use a resistor API and for general Ohm's-law maths an Ohm's-law API.

RTD Pt100 Sensor API
RTD (resistance-temperature-detector) sensor maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically with the IEC 60751 Callendar–Van Dusen equation — the resistance, temperature and tolerance numbers an instrumentation or controls engineer reads a Pt100 or Pt1000 with. The resistance endpoint gives the sensor resistance from temperature: above 0 °C, R = R₀·(1 + A·T + B·T²) with A = 3.9083×10⁻³ and B = −5.775×10⁻⁷; below 0 °C a third term adds C·(T−100)·T³ — a standard Pt100 (100 Ω at 0 °C) reads 138.51 Ω at 100 °C and 80.31 Ω at −50 °C, and a Pt1000 is ten times that. The temperature endpoint inverts it to turn a measured resistance back into temperature — analytically above 0 °C, iteratively below — exactly what a transmitter does with the bridge reading, and a reminder that a 3- or 4-wire connection cancels the lead-wire resistance so it does not read as extra degrees. The tolerance endpoint gives the IEC 60751 accuracy band in both °C and Ω by class — AA ±(0.10 + 0.0017·|T|), A ±(0.15 + 0.002·|T|), B ±(0.30 + 0.005·|T|), C ±(0.60 + 0.010·|T|) — the error growing with distance from 0 °C. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for instrumentation and controls software, data-logger and transmitter firmware, calibration and industrial-IoT tools. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. 3 compute endpoints. For NTC thermistors use a thermistor API; for thermocouples a thermocouple API.

Voltage Divider API
Resistive voltage-divider circuit design as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The divide endpoint takes an input voltage and two resistors and returns the output voltage Vout = Vin·R2/(R1+R2), the current I = Vin/(R1+R2) that flows through the chain, and the power dissipated in each resistor and in total — a 12 V source with R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 2 kΩ gives 8 V at 4 mA. The loaded endpoint adds a load resistor across R2, computes the parallel combination R2′ = R2·RL/(R2+RL) and the loaded output Vout = Vin·R2′/(R1+R2′), and reports the droop in volts and percent against the unloaded value, the classic mistake when a divider feeds a real load. The resistor endpoint sizes the missing resistor for a target output — R2 = R1·Vout/(Vin−Vout) or R1 = R2·(Vin−Vout)/Vout — so you can pick parts for a reference or sensor-bias point. All quantities are volts, ohms, amps and watts. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, embedded, hardware, sensor-interfacing and EE-education app developers, reference-voltage and bias-network tools, and maker software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is the resistive divider; for a single Ohm’s-law relationship use an Ohm’s-law API and for RC/RL filters an RC-filter API.

RC Filter API
First-order RC and RL passive-filter design as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The lowpass and highpass endpoints take a resistor and capacitor (RC) or a resistor and inductor (RL) and return the −3 dB cutoff frequency (fc = 1/(2πRC) for RC, R/(2πL) for RL), the time constant (τ = RC or L/R) and the angular cutoff; pass a frequency as well and they add the magnitude response as a linear gain and in decibels and the phase shift in degrees — a 1 kΩ / 1 µF low-pass has fc ≈ 159.15 Hz, and right at the cutoff the gain is −3.01 dB with −45° phase for a low-pass or +45° for a high-pass. The component endpoint solves the missing one of fc, R and C from the other two (fc = 1/(2πRC)), so you can size a resistor or capacitor for a target cutoff. All quantities are SI: ohms, farads, henries and hertz. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electronics, audio, embedded, signal-processing and EE-education app developers, filter-design and circuit-sizing tools, and maker software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is first-order single-pole filter design; for full RLC impedance and resonance use an impedance API and for stored capacitor energy a capacitor API.
