Component Lists
Component Lists let you keep a personal inventory of real-world electronic parts you own. Track what you have, how many, where they're stored, and their specifications — all organized by category.
Accessing component lists
From your My Page dashboard, click My Component Lists in the sidebar. This shows all your lists as cards, similar to how boards are displayed.
Creating a list
- Click the New List button in the top bar
- Enter a name (required, up to 120 characters) and an optional description
- Click Create
You're taken to the list detail view where you can start adding components.
Free accounts can create up to 3 component lists. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited lists.
List detail view
Each list has its own page with:
- Header — list name (click to edit) and description (click to edit)
- Category tabs — filter components by category
- Component table — all items with their properties
- Add Component button
Category tabs
Components are organized into categories. The tab bar shows:
- All — displays every item in the list
- Category tabs — only shown if the list contains items in that category
- + button — create a custom category name
Predefined categories include: Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Diodes, LEDs, Transistors, MOSFETs, Switches, Batteries, Bulbs, Generators, Measuring instruments, Transformers, Optocouplers, and Relays.
You can also create your own custom categories for parts that don't fit the predefined ones.
Component table
Each row in the table shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Part name or part number |
| Properties | Key specs displayed as small tags (e.g., "10k", "0.25W") |
| Qty | Quantity on hand (click to edit inline) |
| Storage Location | Where the part is stored (e.g., "Shelf A3, Drawer 2") |
| Notes | Any additional notes |
| Actions | Edit and Delete buttons |
Adding components
Manually
- Click Add Component on the list detail page
- Select a category from the dropdown (predefined or custom)
- Enter the component name
- Set the quantity (defaults to 1)
- Add properties as key-value pairs (click "Add Property" for each spec you want to track)
- Optionally add notes and a storage location
- Click Save
From the circuit editor
You can add components directly from the editor:
- Open a circuit board in the editor
- Right-click on any component
- Select Add to Component List
- Choose which list to add it to
- The category, name, and properties are pre-filled based on the component type
- Adjust the quantity and details as needed
- Click Confirm
This is a quick way to build your inventory from your circuit designs.
Editing components
Click the edit icon on any row to open the edit modal. You can change any field — category, name, quantity, properties, notes, or storage location. Click Save to apply changes.
For quick quantity updates, click the quantity value directly in the table to edit it inline.
Deleting components
Click the delete icon on any row. A confirmation dialog appears before the item is removed.
Category-specific properties
Each predefined category has suggested property fields that match the component type:
| Category | Key properties |
|---|---|
| Resistors | Resistance, Power rating, Tolerance, Material, Package |
| Capacitors | Capacitance, Max voltage, ESR, Type (Electrolytic/Ceramic/Film/Tantalum), Package |
| Inductors | Inductance, DC resistance, Max current, Package |
| Diodes | Type (Rectifier/Zener/Schottky/TVS), Forward voltage, Max reverse voltage, Max current |
| LEDs | Color, Forward voltage, Forward current, Wavelength, Package |
| Transistors | Type (NPN/PNP), Material, Current gain (hFE), Max collector current, Power dissipation |
| Switches | Type (Push Button/Toggle/SPDT/Rotary), Max voltage, Max current |
| Batteries | Chemistry (Li-Ion/NiMH/Alkaline/etc.), Voltage, Capacity |
You can filter by these properties using the filter controls on the list view.
Sharing lists
Share a component list with others:
- Click the Share button on a list
- A share link is generated
- Copy the link and send it to anyone
Recipients see a read-only view of your list with all categories and items. They can also export it.
Import and export
Export
Click Export on a list to download it as a JSON file. The file includes all items, categories, and properties.
Import
Click Import to load components from a previously exported JSON file. Items are merged into the current list.
The export format is versioned (tebemo-component-list-v1) for compatibility.
Managing lists from the dashboard
On the My Component Lists section of My Page:
- Search — filter lists by name
- Sort — newest or oldest first
- Delete — remove a list (with confirmation)
- Each card shows the list name, item count, and last edited time
