GoFly says an AI agent designed a six-layer STM32F405 flight controller in EasyEDA Pro through easyeda-agent, then ordered it from JLCPCB with SMT assembly. The post says the agent then flashed the board over USB and ran basic function tests. The design keeps only the MCU, gyroscope and accelerometer, and testing stayed on the desk.

A JLCPCB blog author had Claude Code with Opus 5.5 rebuild a CH32V006 component tester in EasyEDA Pro from a PDF schematic. Working through a local API bridge, Claude swapped 8 out-of-stock parts, placed 47 parts and routed the 2-layer board with Freerouting to zero DRC errors. The post says the board was not fabricated or visually reviewed.

A Reddit user had Claude Fable 5 design an RP2350 e-ink board through a KiCad MCP server, allowing no manual edits. Wccftech reports several rounds to fix wrong part picks. Five assembled boards cost 130 euros plus $450 in API credits, and Claude Opus 5 wrote the firmware. Photos show the board driving its 1.54-inch display.

Iluvatar Labs had its research agent, Marvin, route AgentPad13, a two-layer RP2040 macropad modeled on OpenAI's Codex Micro. Marvin reached zero unrouted connections and zero DRC errors; FreeRouting and Quilter had left 18 and 19 unrouted. It also built and simulated the QMK firmware. Photos show the lit prototype.

Tony Huang built OpenMicroKbd, an open recreation of OpenAI's Codex Micro macropad on an STM32F072, whose schematic an AI agent wrote in CoHDL. Quilter.ai did the layout, an agent helped with the Rust firmware, and Huang had the boards fabbed and finished the assembly by hand. The launch post has photos of the assembled board and printed case.

CODEX KEYBORED is a parody of the Codex Micro macropad, designed through prompts alone from Fusion 360 mechanics to a six-layer KiCad board. The repository adds STM32F072 USB HID firmware, a factory test and JLC quotes captured on 17 July. The README does not name the agent, and says no fabricated board has been brought up.
