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.

ws-pico2go sets up Claude Code to program the RP2350-based Waveshare Pico2Go robot in MicroPython, entirely from the terminal. Waveshare publishes no pinout, so the author recovered one from a schematic PDF and keeps it in CLAUDE.md with safety rules and measured sensor behavior. The README says an obstacle avoider runs untethered. We have not seen video.

Session Beacon shows every Claude Code session on a 1.8-inch ST7735 screen and turns a row red when that session waits on a prompt. A Python daemon fed by Claude Code hooks sends updates over USB serial to an Arduino Nano ESP32 or a Waveshare RP2040-Zero. Setup is documented for Windows only. README photos show the finished beacon.

XDA's Anurag Singh used Claude Code to plan an ESPHome multi-sensor on an ESP32-WROOM-32 DevKit. It put an LD2410C mmWave sensor on UART pins and a BME280 and BH1750 on shared I2C pins, then wrote, validated and compiled the YAML. He says the device then reported to Home Assistant. The article shows screenshots, not the build.

Sigurd Enghoff replaced the WLKATA MT4 desktop arm's stock firmware and built a vision and MCP control stack on top. His ATmega2560 firmware runs Cartesian moves on the arm, ArUco markers calibrate a fixed camera, and an MCP server takes requests from Claude Code or Cursor. Linked videos show the arm stacking cubes and following typed instructions.

One maker had coding agents build IRIS, a robot face with gaze-tracking eyes, on two Teensy boards and a Raspberry Pi 4. Its speech and vision models run locally. Over 195 sessions, one AI planned each change, a second critiqued it and a coding agent made and checked it over SSH. The README shows no photos of the robot.

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.

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.

Norihide Mikami used Claude Code with Opus 4.7 to write a Flask control system for a DENSO six-axis arm in one 4.5-hour hackathon session. It drives the arm over b-CAP, an IAI electric gripper over Modbus RTU, a 4K Basler GigE camera, a webcam and a PS5 gamepad. The three-minute video shows the system running.

Seif Salama built an Ackermann-steered robot that runs one ROS 2 Humble stack in Gazebo Harmonic and on a Raspberry Pi car. A custom ros2_control interface drives the motors over UART and the steering servo over I2C. A Gemini or Ollama agent takes spoken commands. We could not tell whether the README video shows the physical robot.
