Lattice Semiconductor released Lattice Prompt, a free MCP link between agentic IDEs such as Claude Code or Cursor and its Radiant FPGA software. Lattice says an agent can run simulation, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis and bitstream generation from plain-language requests, grounded in its datasheets. The 16 September release reports productivity gains of 10x or more without a benchmark.

Martin Falch of CSS Electronics shows a Claude Code skill that decodes proprietary CAN signals into DBC files with a CANsub.2 interface. The skill matches bus bits against a reference, such as OBD2 data, dashboard video read by OCR or hand-logged gauge positions, and fits scale and offset. The 31-minute video runs it on car logs and a gauge bench.

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.

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.

Lucas Gerads connected Claude Code to his LeCroy oscilloscope through lecroy-mcp and to ngspice through spicelib-mcp. In the post's 12-minute video, Claude simulates an RC low-pass filter, programs an ATtiny1614 to drive it and compares the scope traces with the simulation. Gerads warns that Claude cannot see the bench and needs an explicit pinout.

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.

Creator Magic plugged three unlabeled ESP32 boards into a Mac one at a time and had Claude Code identify each over USB. Claude then wrote different firmware for each: a sea-conditions display, a Bluetooth audio spectrum analyzer and an e-paper sound picture. The 23-minute video shows all three running and a display offset Claude diagnosed from a photo.

Two Markdown files in a CC0 repo guide Claude Code from a breadboard-proven Arduino circuit to a fabricated KiCad board. CLAUDE.md points the agent at a playbook in which it checks each part, writes one Python generator for schematic and board, and clears ERC and DRC. The author says every rule came from boards that shipped.

Niclas Vestlund's VibePulse shows Claude Code and Codex usage and agent activity on a Waveshare ESP32-S3 AMOLED panel. A full-screen alert appears when an agent waits for input, and a tap answers supported prompts. A Python service runs on macOS or Windows; cloud relays are off by default. The README links a YouTube Short of the panels on his desk.

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.

Wataru Takasato had Claude Code write OpenSCAD from caliper measurements, render PNG previews and check them before each print on a Bambu Lab A1 mini. A tolerance plate showed holes printing about 0.2 mm small in PETG. The replacement bag hook for his shelf still needed its screw holes drilled; Takasato thinks printing it on its side changed their clearance.

code-chan runs on a Stack-chan robot with an M5Stack CoreS3 and shows whether Claude Code or Codex is ready, working or waiting for permission. The user approves or rejects a prompt on its touchscreen. A local Node.js bridge sends hook events over USB serial, and the firmware checks each message before acting. README photos show three states.

In an Octopart video, Ari Mahpour gives Claude Code one prompt and an attached Analog Discovery 2. Running Opus 4.8, it upgrades a Vivado 2018 design to 2025.2 and programs a Digilent Arty A7 in about 15 minutes. Mahpour then saves the session as a CLAUDE.md file and skills; a fresh session repeats the bring-up in seconds.

UST announced an alliance with Anthropic that puts Claude into the engineering platforms UST runs for clients. In UST-iDEC, its hardware and silicon validation platform, Claude Code reads chip pinouts and schematics, then writes and runs regression test scripts that engineers used to write by hand. UST says the platform already cuts validation cycles by 50 to 70%.

The FPGA Developer blog describes giving Claude Code control of programming, UART and power cycling on an AMD FPGA bench. In the post's example, the agent ports a reference design to a new dev board, then tests and fixes it there. The author says such ports take a few hours. The post also covers token use and hooks.

David Steeman used Claude Code to reverse-engineer and program the Fri3d Camp 2024 badge, an ESP32-S3 handheld with an LCD. Claude backed up the flash in ROM mode, worked out the OTA boot scheme and wrote a serial upload tool. Steeman says the app launcher and name badge it built ran on the device. The photos show only the hardware.

JetsonHacks shows Claude Code on a Jetson AGX Orin programming a headless Jetson Orin Nano over SSH. The 13-minute video sets up VS Code and Claude Code, then installs NVIDIA's Jetson Device Skills, agent instructions and scripts for diagnostics, memory tuning, LLM serving and video work on a live Jetson. The skills also work with Codex and Cursor.

HARDWARIO published a repository on 30 June that holds its TOWER IoT kit's protocol, STM32L083 firmware, CLI, flasher and hardware-in-the-loop bench. It began as a Claude Code control plane over submodules and is now a Rust monorepo with agent instructions. The README says bench runs flash a physical Core Module and measure power with a PPK2.

In a German video, Stefan Draeger compares Claude Code with the Claude.ai chat on an Arduino UNO R3 and an ESP32-C3 Super Mini. Claude.ai writes a sketch inside the chat, while Claude Code works on a project's files directly. Draeger says generated code still has to be checked and tested. A blog post goes with the 7-minute video.

RRF_Claude collects plain-English guides for non-programmers doing hardware work with Claude Code. One compiles RepRapFirmware for Duet3D printer boards on Windows or macOS and adds features to it. Another wires two PN5180 NFC readers to an ESP32 while the agent writes firmware for Bambu Lab and OpenPrintTag spool tags. The repo shows no photos or build results.
