| contents | The increasing popularity of microcontroller platforms like Arduino enables diverse end-user developers to participate in circuit prototyping. Traditionally, follow-along tutorials serve as an essential learning method for makers, and in fact, several prior toolkits leveraged this format as a way to engage new makers. However, literature and our formative study (N=12) show that makers have unique preferences regarding the construction of their circuits and idiosyncratic ways to assess and debug problems, which contrasts with the step-by-step instructional nature of tutorials and those systems leveraging this method. To address this mismatch, we present a prototyping platform that supports personalized circuit construction and debugging. Our system utilizes an augmented breadboard, which is circuit-aware and supports on-the-fly hardware reconfiguration via contextualized guidance and in-situ circuit validation through interactive tests. Through a usability study (N=12), we demonstrate how makers leverage circuit-aware guidance and debugging to support individual building patterns. |
