Claude Code to automate your Arduino/hardware development
Adafruit is sharing a video with their first experiments with Claude Code – hardware development and debugging in one go
From the Desk of Ladyada:
Adafruit is sharing their experiments with Claude Code, a new large language model (LLM) tool, to streamline hardware development – WAIT WHAT? That’s right!. streamline hardware development! We are using it to automate parts of the coding and debugging process for an Arduino-compatible Metro Mini board with an OPT 4048 color sensor. Using Claude Code’s shell access, we can compile, upload, and test code in a semi-automated workflow, allowing the LLM to suggest fixes for errors along the way. The process involves using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to bridge hardware interaction gaps, as Claude Code doesn’t run natively on Windows yet. While the AI isn’t perfect for high-level driver development, it’s proving VERY useful for tedious debugging and super-fast iterative improvements, bringing hardware automation closer to …reality
