Componiverse

C O M P O N I V E R S E® is a web based exchange for CAD data of electronic components. It's a cloud for TARGET 3001! components. It's the place to share components with others. A component cosmos in the internet.

How does that work?

If you search for a component in TARGET 3001! the web application COMPONIVERSE® is browsed at the same time. So if the part is not available in the TARGET component data base, maybe a friend has drawn it and uploaded it to COMPONIVERSE®. Now you can find and use this part.

So if anyone has uploaded a part to COMPONIVERSE®, TARGET 3001! can find it based on its name or fractions of it. By this means the pool of TARGET 3001! parts grows day by day.

NEW:

Completely new engine
HTML5 based - prepared for the future. METEOR, Node.js
New design with more speed
Search completion recognizes component name, manufacturer and user name
Results can be assorted by rating, date or alphabet
Option to exchange clusters of parts by open lists
Create a link to a certain part in COMPONIVERSE®
Open and simple interface (API) for third-party software

Further improvements:

SPICE-Models are transferred
all futher details will be transferred: DIN and IEEE-symbol, ordering number, component type, component type parameters, Pin assignment and so on.
Autorating: The better a part is equipped with data the higher it scores
The description of a component automatically gets enhanced by parameters
User can have a profile
Keyboard control possible

You need TARGET 3001! V17 or younger:

The download of a part will not touch your data base structure. There will not be added any component type, distributor etc. if a part eventually brings them along. Existing ones get used however. A universal feature "Analyse component" is about to come in the near future. This analysis will recognize missing componenet types etc. in order to ask wheter to incorporate them.

Many component details can be edited directly in COMPONIVERSE® (click the pencil icon...)

Image: "I am in search of part having LM in its name. Is anything out there?" Yes, COMPONIVERSE® offers 59 options! Clicking the orange line opens your web browser like this:

Image: (1). The search "lm" in TARGET will be automatically overtaken to COMPONIVERSE® (2). Now tick the box to select the desired item. (3). Add the desired one(s) to the list.

Change over to TARGET and get the content of list in.

Alternative:

Search in COMPONIVERSE® (1.)
Tick box to select part (2.)
Add desired component to your list to the left using the icon [+] (3.)
In TARGET 3001! collect the parts from the list (automatic suggest).

Conversely implied you might have drawn a part yourself which was not available in the local TARGET 3001! component database. Now load up your individual user part to COMPONIVERSE® so that others might use it and take benefit from your artwork. You're part of the TARGET 3001! Component Community.

Image: Load parts up to COMPONIVERSE®:
Highlight the part(s), right mouse click (=M2), select option, upload done.

All elements you had equipped your component with will be visible in COMPONIVERSE®:

Your component name

Your component description including all properties

Your images of symbol and package

Your 3D image including syntax

Your user name

Further properties if given.

COMPONIVERSE® runs on an IBF server. You need to register (sign up) and need to login (sign in) during the interaction. Your COMPONIVERSE® eMail address must be denoted in TARGET/Settings/Settings INI File (bottom of list).

In TARGET: To communicate with COMPONIVERSE® you need to denote the eMail address which you had been using when registering to COMPONIVERSE®.

Terms and conditions of use
At this point I have got a question...
I am a component manufacturer and I'd like to load up all of my components to COMPONIVERSE®
