Hermes Agent on an Arduino UNO Q runs Game of Life on the LED matrix

A Hacker News poster installed Hermes Agent over SSH on the Linux side of an Arduino UNO Q and connected a ChatGPT subscription. Asked to blink an LED, the agent did. Asked for Conway's Game of Life on the 8x13 LED matrix, the post says it searched the board's docs and got it running. There are no photos or logs.

Briefing

The UNO Q pairs a Linux processor with a microcontroller, and the poster's board has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. No model runs on the board: Hermes Agent runs there as a client, and the ChatGPT subscription does the inference. The Game of Life request meant reaching from the Linux side to the microcontroller side, which the agent worked out from the docs.

The poster wanted an isolated, low-power machine for the agent instead of a personal computer or a paid VPS, and floated adding daisy-chained Modulino sensors next. The post had 2 points and no replies when we read it.
