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.
Ranked by points weighed against age. New entries with early votes rise.

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.

JLCPCB's blog documents GPT-6 Astra designing a 44 x 34 mm two-layer TPA3116D2 stereo amplifier board in KiCad 10. Starting from datasheets and a brief, it ended with zero ERC, DRC and parity errors, with some check categories disabled. The page says the routed layout was reused from an earlier task. The board was never fabricated.

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.
