(Apologies for my plebeian question to all EEs here.)
Is there software that would tell me what I need to buy to make this [Arduino QT Py] work with [this specific set of 200 IC LEDs]? Alternatively, how can I check if a specific combination of components would work together? I spent a few hours with Flux and EasyEDA, but didn't get far.
You are in luck
Flux.ai does that…have a look at this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y56AqPOjp0k&t=366s
Flux Copilot will happily assist you going from an idea to selecting the right components all the way to manufactured board!

There are so many different tools to help design and route PCBs now. You have DeepPCB, Flux, and Quilter doing auto-routing, and SKiDL, CuFlow, and JITX doing programmatic schematics (and also sometimes auto-routing?).
To be honest, I don't really understand how these tools are differentiated from one another. I personally know the Quilter guys, so if I had to pick I'd use their product, but I don't think the market crowding here is great for anybody.

Our mission is to take the “hard” out of hardware
We have 240k users on the platform…hobbyists, students, small/mid sized teams to Fortune50 companies. We host millions of projects!
It’s a huge ecosystem not just of users but also semiconductor manufacturers, fab houses, etc.
Think GitHub on steroids!
And it’s the only AI first end-to-end design tool in the market…you can go from idea to research to architecture to BOM to schematic to PCB layout and then to manufacturing. Workflows that usually take months in other tools can be done in a few hours to minutes in flux.
It’s still early days though but we are moving insanely fast! So if we don’t met your teams bar today I suggest checking back in next month.
I think it’s good for more players to enter the market…EDA tooling is stuck somewhere in the 80s and we need to fix that.
It’s too expensive and risky to make hardware…and we deserve better!
Silicon is the most important resource in the world, as evidenced by FAANG
FAANG’s ability to scale up compute is limited by their ability to design, test, and manufacture silicon. Every competitive AI company is working to build it’s own
Everyone is focused on making software layer more efficient, we are seeing 3-5x productivity gains
I am the founder of https://flux.ai and we are the only ones making the hardware layer more efficient, 6-15x productivity gains!
As you saw with NVIDIA’s growth, the hardware side of this is as valuable as the software side
Flux.ai is a AI first hardware design platform build for the modern age. Our mission is to take the “hard” out of hardware
LFG

Hit me with your questions
I stopped writing code by hand almost entirely and my output (measured in landed PRs) has been 10x
And when I write code myself then it’s gnarly stuff and I want AI to get out of my way…so I just use Webstorm
