Tech With Anant rebuilt the Saras rover around Claude Code running on a Raspberry Pi 4. A small MCP server exposes the motors, encoders and camera as tools, and a CLAUDE.md file sets the robot's identity. An LD06 lidar handles obstacle detection. The 24-minute video shows the rover in a live test, driving toward a named object around obstacles.
K-Dense's LabMCP connects Claude and other assistants to lab instruments through 32 MCP servers. They cover balances, hotplate stirrers, syringe pumps, spectrometers, potentiostats and other instruments. Each server checks commands against user-set safety limits and logs them, and each has a practice mode. The README marks all 32 as tested only in simulation, from the makers' manuals.
efinity-mcp drives a local install of Efinix's Efinity FPGA toolchain from an MCP client such as Claude. Its tools create projects and compile them, set up I/O and PLLs, read timing and utilization reports, and program boards over JTAG or SPI flash. The README says an assistant-built LED demo ran on a Ti375 dev kit. Only Windows is tested.
adsb-radar decodes ADS-B on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with an RTL-SDR. An n8n workflow on a Raspberry Pi 5 picks the plane visible from a window and looks up its route, and an ESP32-S3-BOX-3 screen shows it. The owner says all the code came from Claude Code sessions. The README reports 4,623 sightings in 12 days.
Jacob Beningo gave Claude Code his Zephyr skills and a serial-port MCP server, then had it debug a sensor application on an NXP FRDM-MCXA156. The agent first blamed the hardware, and Beningo found the Click board mounted backward. Claude then traced readings of -45 C and 0% humidity to a conversion-timing bug. A screenshot shows its 83-sample check.

debug-devices connects coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex to a repair bench through an MCP server. The agent drives an Android phone camera with zoom and torch, reads a multimeter through a webcam and a vision model, and finds parts, nets and test points in the board's boardview file. The README's clip shows the monitor page only.

Craig Hollabaugh had Claude Code boot Linux overnight on an Icepi Zero, a Lattice ECP5 FPGA board with no hard CPU. The agent installed LiteX and built a VexRiscv soft core that boots OpenSBI, Linux 5.14 and BusyBox to a root shell over USB serial. The 10-minute video logs into the running system on the board.

On FastLED's unattended bench, an RP2040 stopped enumerating over USB after it was flashed with an I2S microphone sketch. Elevated device restarts and disable-enable cycles all failed. The issue says a port restart resets the bus but never cuts VBUS. The follow-up lists a switchable hub, an SWD probe and a watchdog that falls back to BOOTSEL.

rttsh is a Windows command-line terminal over SEGGER J-Link RTT for checking firmware on the board. Firmware exposes a command console through RTT, and Lua scripts on the host send commands and assert on replies and timing. It shares the flashing probe, leaves the UART free and includes an 8-tool MCP server. The README's 23 example scripts target an STM32H743.

Amer El-Saad built a 3-DOF tower crane for his master's thesis that Claude plans and drives through 4 MCP tools. One overhead camera, YOLOv8 and ArUco markers locate parts and stations in centimeters. An Arduino Uno drives the DC motors, and code rejects any route that crosses a worker. README photos show the crane and live detections.

claude-code-eyes grabs one frame from an Android IP Webcam, a Raspberry Pi camera or any snapshot URL and hands it to Claude Code. Version 1.1 added lens zoom for reading small markings. The README's demo shows Claude flashing an ESP32 over OTA and fixing a display bug its tests missed.

A DeepSeek Harness agent decoded the private UART link between a LinShang LS125 UV meter and its UVALED-X3 probe from measurements on the hardware. The probe answers a poll every 500 ms at 9600 8N1 with 28-byte frames checked by CRC-16/MODBUS. The README reports an STM32F103 host reading 21 of 21 frames with no CRC errors.

Wenbo Zhang and colleagues ran GPT-6 Astra as a zero-shot robot manipulation policy on the 42 simulated RoboDojo tasks. It ranked above all 40 public policies on that board. On real arms, the team halted testing after the model repeatedly issued unsafe actions. The paper says some incidents damaged hardware and nobody was hurt.

Synacl's 2.5-minute video shows claude.ai writing a macro that runs on an ESP32 flashed with Synacl's gateway firmware. Claude connects through a custom MCP connector, creates a GPIO device and writes a 5-step macro. Its first run is refused until a person grants 2 permissions; then the board's GPIO 2 LED blinks. Synacl made the demo for its own product.

Claude Code wrote serial scripts for the STS3215 servos of a self-assembled SO-101 arm and fixed GR00T N1.6-3B fine-tuning errors for a Japanese maker. It set motor IDs, showed live gripper values and ran training over SSH on a DGX Spark. After 97 recorded episodes, the post's GIF shows the arm placing a block in a cup on its own.

EmbeddedCI's BenchPod plugins connect Claude Code and Codex to a BenchPod, the company's hardware-in-the-loop tester wired to the board under test. One MCP server has tools to flash over SWD, power-cycle and capture the boot log, emulate I2C sensors, capture logic and analog signals and talk CAN. The vendor README lists the tools but shows no runs.

C64U Antigravity Bridge connects Google Antigravity and other coding agents to a Commodore 64 Ultimate or Ultimate 64 through the machine's REST and DMA interface. The agent writes 6502 assembly or Python, which the bridge compiles and pushes into RAM, then reads back screen memory, color RAM and registers. The README shows no photos or captures of a run.

Anthropic's red team had Claude, GPT, Gemini and other models drive robots, mostly in simulation plus a real Unitree Go2. The team reports that Opus 4.6 misjudged where a trash can was and the Go2 dragged it. Grok 4.1 Fast headed for a table reflected in a glass door, and no model completed an office loop on vision alone.

Wired's Will Knight connected OpenClaw and Codex to a LeRobot SO-101 arm with a camera. Codex configured the connections, helped calibrate the joints and wrote a script that grips a red ball the camera sees. OpenClaw then guided training of a control model, checking its error rate after each run. The article's clips show the arm at work.

platformio.mcp exposes PlatformIO to coding agents as 40 MCP tools in a Python server. Besides builds and serial or OTA flashing, it decodes ESP32 and Cortex-M crash backtraces, reads core dumps, checks partition tables and runs GDB sessions. Its flash-and-verify tool reads the boot log until an expected line or a crash appears. The README shows no board captures.
