I need the equivalent of Claude Code, but for hardware projects, so I can actually do all the projects I envision with the EPS32s.

Something that combines: 3d printing; auto procurement of parts; custom software writing; maybe a robot arms or something, all in a nice box on my desk that I feed parts into like a mail slot. PROFIT.

Tbh, we're pretty close to that. This would essentially be the following set of work cells:

- PCB etching/engraving

- Solder placement

- component placement

- solder oven

This gets you one layer populated PCBs out the other side. Commercial systems like this exist in various forms, and open source projects for all of these also exist. It would be up to you to integrate them together.

As it stands, the frontier models are actually pretty ok at firmware dev at a high level. If you need max performance, they won't be any good at all (learning from the dregs of the internet isn't exactly helpful here). You'll also need to bring at least a willingness to learn about what is involved so you can debug the machine's mistakes.

For firmware dev, Claude is amazing. Just plug the dev board and tell him what you need. Great learning tool too!

At least part of what you describe is already being built: https://www.schematik.io/
