ATK-Logic-MCP connects MCP clients such as Claude Code to the ALIENTEK ATK-Logic-Analyzer, a 16-channel USB logic analyzer. It captures at up to 200 MHz, decodes buses with the 208 sigrok decoders from the vendor install and reads or writes vendor archives. The README says the USB protocol was reverse-engineered from vendor source and checked against the device.

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.

Steve from IQ Workshop ran Hermes Agent on a 1 GB Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus, using OpenAI's Codex model and Telegram for chat. He asked it to write and upload a countdown blink sketch to an ESP32 on his workbench. The first upload failed; the agent diagnosed the error, retried and saved the fix to its memory.
